August 8 (N.S.), 1910

Dear Comrade,

I have a small personal favour to ask of you. I should like to make use of the opportunity provided by the congress in Copenhagen to work in a Copenhagen library. I should be much obliged if you could inform me:

1) Whether the Copenhagen library is open all the time in September (the National or the University, I do not know which is better. I need data on agriculture in Denmark).

2) How much a furnished room in Copenhagen would cost by the week or month, and whether you could help me to find a room, provided this would not take you away from your work.

My address until August 23
Mr. Wl. Oulianoff.
Rue Mon Désir. Villa les Roses.
Pornic (Loire-Inférieure).
France.

Lenin

Forgive me for troubling you. Thanking you in advance and with best regards.
