To:   THE PRESIDING COMMITTEE OF THE FRONTLINE CONGRESS [1]

To the Presiding Committee of Delegates of the Frontline Congress

Dear Comrades, I received your invitation and thank you for it with all my heart. I
regret that I am absolutely unable to attend your congress today in view of
my commitments to the All-Russia conference of our Party.

The conference proceedings have dragged out, there will probably be an
all-night sitting, and I cannot get away for a minute. Please forgive me.

With comradely greetings,

N. Lenin
