Owing to completely unexpected and unforeseen circumstances, we
received your letter only yesterday and there fore could not reply
earlier. We have heard nothing from our delegate about the “agreed
place”. It would therefore be more expedient for you to take steps
directly to deliver the leaflet to the committees. [1] Evidently one of our people has been taken. So far we are
not printing anything about the Belostok arrest. To speed up things in
important matters we would earnestly ask you to pass on all
information through the comrade in Paris (Leiteisen), sending us (to the address: Herrn
Philipp Rögner. Cigarrenhandlung. Neue Gasse. 44. Nürnberg) either a
copy of the statements handed to the Paris comrade, or a brief summary.
