TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRITISH LABOUR REPRESENTATION COMMITTEE

May 20, 1905

Dear Sir, I acknowledge with thanks the receipt of £25, of which
£5 will be subscribed, according Your condition, for relief
work. Your subscriptions are all mentioned in our paper
Vperiod (Forward), which we send to You. Now I send
You again the issues of this paper, where the subscriptions
are mentioned and I notice these mentions with blue pencil.

We have written already to St. Petersburg Committee of the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party that it is
necessary to make a report before some working men meetings
about the subscriptions from the L.R.C. All communications with the organisations of our party being secret it
must take some time before an answer can be received. This
week some Russian comrades go to St. Petersburg and
I repeated to them my request. They promised to me to take all measures to accelerate this report in St. Petersburg
and to send a notice to You. Your letter from 22.4.05 will
also be sent to the St. Petersburg Committee.

I hope, dear Sir, that you will soon receive a letter from
our Petersburg comrades stating the report before working
men meeting in the Russian capital.

I beg to apologise for my bad English.

With kindest thanks.

Yours very sincerely, Vl. Oulianoff (Editor of Vperiod )
