Dear A. M.,
I have received the novel[1] and your letter. My opinion is that the novel should be shelved, since you are not in favour. I enclose a letter from Kamenev, who read the novel (I have not read it yet).
We shall write to St. Petersburg to have them hold it up.
I enclose my letter of yesterday[2]: don’t be angry that I lost my temper. Perhaps I did not understand you aright? Perhaps it was as a joke that you wrote “for a time”? Perhaps you weren’t serious about God-building, either?
I entreat you to get the best possible treatment.
Yours,
Lenin
