Dear L. B.!

Today we received an invitation from Trotsky to "their" conference (for August 25).

So they've managed to gather after all!

Of course, we are not going.

We want to prepare the Central Organ two-thirds [complete], so that immediately, upon the release of their announcement, we can put out a reply...**

Tomorrow we will begin sending manuscripts to the Central Organ.

See to it that [the work is] carried out quickly and that the proofs are corrected well.

Why doesn't Antonov (Britman) answer me? Is he in Paris? Is he in good health?

Write [and tell me] when you are thinking of moving to Chemnitz. We ought to prepare a document for the Germans in advance.
