* LETTER TO V. D. BONCH-BRUEVICH ON THE INADVISABILITY OF APPOINTING HIM TO THE ECONOMIC COMMISSION OF THE CC /
[July 31, 1905 Geneva!]
Dear Vladimir Dmitrievich!
I'm sending you a "paper."
The appointment of you to the economic commission has proven to be inexpedient for the time being: it would not reduce, but intensify friction.
In case of anything, always turn to me. I don't think [that] one should be afraid of friction. It is necessary, of course, to be tactful and careful with any changes.
They say there is no paper for the next issue!
Greetings to Vera Mikhailovna. I shake your hand.
Yours, Lenin.
