Leon Trotsky: Letter to Enrique Espinoza

January 21, 1939

[Writings of Leon Trotsky, Vol 11, 1938-1938, New York ²1974, p. 177, title: “A Proposed Biography”]

Dear Friend,

Van showed me your letter. Allow me to give you a bit of advice. The book about me would be much better written after I have settled my affairs in this the best of all worlds. Not that I fear that I myself will change, but rather that others may change and retract what they have written in their articles. In any case, my most sincere thanks for your indispensable efforts.

I would be most happy to remain in permanent contact with you.

Best regards,

Leon Trotsky
