Lenin TO L. B. KAMENEV

TO L. B. KAMENEV

Dear L. B.,

21.III. 10

The article about Koltsov received, read and passed on...*; I liked it very much, I think it turned out quite well167 . . . , no doubt it will cause a grand row? but there is a constant row there as it is!! The composition of the C.O. has deteriorated168 —a year before the plenum not a single row. 

Now not a single issue [without] some document of protest, threats and hysterics from Martov....

[How do matters stand] with the report? Don’t give me away, for the love of Christ!

I am again being “harried”—that is to say, reminded— by the International Bureau. Write, write that [report] as quickly as possible [for the sake] of all that’s holy.... As soon as the report is ready we shall [tackle] a legal Bolshevik [journal].

With best regards,

Yours,

Lenin

P.S. Rather scurvy behaviour of Trotsky’s in No. 10 of Pravda, I must say!
