Dear Comrades,

Being now, as before, principled supporters of unity, we give our consent for the second time to the resumption of negotiations on unity and gratefully accept the proposal of the *Borba* group to take the initiative and act as intermediary in the preliminary phase of the negotiations. We agree to the preliminary conference of the Social-Democratic organisations you have named.

We consider it not superfluous to add that the principled polemic we have raised with *Rabocheye Dyelo* we, of course, cannot suspend.

With respect,
For the *Iskra* group ...........

Please reply as soon as possible whether all have agreed to the conference.\(^{113}\) In May we could certainly promise to take part in it; later this would involve certain difficulties for us.
