Copy of a reply
Sent to Potresov's address (for Dan)
2. XII. 03.

"Dear Comrade! The elimination of the personal conflict between myself and Martov could be certified in an appendix to the protocols of the League congress. For my part, I would of course be only too glad of this. But to abridge anything whatsoever in the congress protocols, to remove something or other from the account of what actually took place—no one has either formal or moral right to do so.

With comradely greetings,
N. Lenin"
