To Zemlyachka from Lenin, private

December 26, 1904

Dear friend, I have received your authorisation. In a day or two I shall be
writing for the press on your business.
[1]

I recently received also the minutes of the Northern Conference.
[3] Hurrah! You have done a splendid job and you (together with
Papasha, Mouse and others) are to be congratulated on a huge success. A
conference like that is a very difficult thing under Russian conditions;
apparently, it has been a great success. Its significance is tremendous; it
fits in most appropriately with our announcement of our news paper
( Vperyod ). The announcement has already been is sued. The first
number will come out at the beginning of January, new style. The task now
is: 1) To issue in Russia as quickly as possible a printed leaflet about
the Bureau of the Majority Committees. For heaven’s sake, don’t put this
off even for a week. It is devilishly important.

2) Once again to make a round of the committees of the south ( and Volga ), stressing the importance of giving every support to
Vperyod .

Transportation will be taken care of, so long as we have Papasha. Let him
take energetic steps for passing on his heritage in case of arrest.

Get Rakhmetov away quickly from dangerous areas and send him to
destination. Be quick!

When we have money, we shall send a lot of people.

We are publishing an article in Vperyod No. 1, about the
St. Petersburg disgrace (the Minority’s disruption of the
demonstration). [2]

Hurry up with the public announcement about the Bureau, and be sure to
list all the thirteen committees. [4] Hurry, hurry and again
hurry! We shall then have the money.

Yours,

Lenin

My best regards to all friends.
