To Comrade Glebov. In reply to your document of August 30, 1904, we inform you that the legality and validity of those decisions of the Central Committee to which you refer have been challenged by a member of the Central Committee, Comrade Lenin. As agents of the Central Committee who were informed of the whole course of the conflict within the Central Committee, we, for our part, also challenge the legality of this decision and declare that the decision of the Central Committee cannot be recognised as legal, because it begins with a statement of a deliberately false fact: we ourselves saw here abroad two members of the Central Committee who were not informed of the meeting of the Central Committee. Since you have already once told us a direct untruth (about the alleged prohibition by the C.C. of Comrade Lenin’s book*), we are all the more inclined to regard with doubt the statements that come from you. Therefore we propose that you immediately communicate to us the exact data for verifying the legality of the C.C. decision (the composition of the meeting** and the written statements of each participant). Having not the slightest intention of resisting the lawful decisions of the real majority of the C.C., we shall, until such time as this legality is proved to us, leave all your statements without attention.
