To:   THE MAJORITY COMMITTEES

1) To be written to all our committees:

“ Immediately and without fail write officially to the C.C. in
Russia (sending us a copy of your letter) requesting that the Committee be
supplied with all publications of the new publishing house of Bonch-Bruyevich
and
Lenin, [1] and that they be supplied regularly. Get a reply from
the C.C. and send it to us. Make use of a personal meeting with C.C. members and
ask them about their reply in the presence of witnesses. Have you received the
supplement to Nos. 73-74—the decisions of the
Council [2] ? You must protest against this scandalous affair, it is a downright falsification of
the congress, a downright incitement of the periphery against the committees and
a shifting of the squabble to the Council. If you have not received these
decisions, enquire about them also from the C.C. and keep us informed. We shall
issue shortly a detailed examination of these Council decisions.”

2) The full reply of the 22 concerning the Organising Committee to be
sent to Odessa, stipulating that the place they received it from is
to be kept secret. The letter to be inscribed “for Baron, Osip and
Leonsha exclusively ”. Let Odessa send us, Felix and Mouse
immediately their reply, their amendments, or their agreement, etc. Let
Odessa send immediately Nikolayev’s decision concerning the congress.
