To:   THE EDITORIAL BOARD OF ISKRA

The C.C. informs the editorial board of the C.O. that it regards the
instruction that letters intended for the C.C. are to be handed to the
C.O. as an illegitimate and unscrupulous confiscation and a violation of trust.

The C.C. states also that it has already fully taken the measure of Comrade
Blumenfeld, who has now been entrusted with the sorting out of letters, on
account of his unreliability in matters of secrecy and his proneness to make
rows.

The C.C. will therefore bring to the knowledge of all Party members such
confiscation and its inevitably harmful consequences for our work.

The C.C.
