January 16, 1903

We have just received No. 16 of *Rabochaya Mysl* 221 (from Geneva) and from St. Petersburg Nos. 2 and 3 of the *Leaflets of Rabochaya Mysl*. It is now as clear as day that the ousters are deceiving you and leading you by the nose, assuring you of their agreement with *Zarya* and *Iskra*. Immediately come out with a fighting protest (if you are unable to publish it, send it here at once, and in any case a copy), wage a decisive war and spread it more widely among the workers. Any delay and any conciliation with the ousters would now be

not only extremely stupid, but downright disgraceful. And as long as you have Bogdan, you cannot complain of a shortage of people (help has been sent). Reply immediately as to what steps you are taking.
