(Early July 1927)

Dear Vyacheslav!

I am ill, lying in bed, and therefore writing briefly.

1) The AUCCTU declaration is good; Rykov's response is poor.

2) Tomsky's report is weak.

3) I would be in favor of giving Ishchenko and Valentinov a warning.

4) Trotsky should be sent to Japan.

5) I can come for the Plenum if it is necessary and if you postpone it.

6) Bukharin's article on China is a success.

Regards.

J. Stalin.
