September 19, 1915
Dear Comrade,
I should like to give a lecture in Zurich about the middle of October on “The International Conference of September 5--8, 1915”.[1] If the subject is suitable, and can yield even a small return, let me know. (I am also writing to Geneva about this; we must agree beforehand about the dates. I am asking them in Geneva to have posters printed for both occasions, leaving out the town and the date.) Let me know your opinion as soon as you can.
By the way. Will you send me Axelrod’s German pamphlet on the tasks of international Social-Democracy,[2] which appeared in Zurich recently? I am curious to have a look at it.
(We shall publish a report on the conference in the C.O.— and then Nashe Slovo and the Socialist-Revolutionaries, etc., etc., will follow. But I shall deal with it in greater detail than in the press, and shall make an assessment and draw the conclusions.)
Best regards,
Yours,
Lenin
