To:   CAMILLE HUYSMANS

July 20, 1909

Dear Comrade Huysmans, Please forgive me the delay in replying. A number of circumstances
prevented me from writing to you earlier.

The translation of the Programme of the Russian Social-Democratic
Labour Party which you sent me is, in my opinion, far from
perfect. However, my own knowledge of French is so inadequate that I cannot
venture to under take to correct the translation. Comrade Charles Rappoport
(of the journal
Le Socialisme [1] ) has kindly agreed to do this work. He will
edit the translation and I hope to be able to send it to you soon.

As regards the meeting of the International Socialist Bureau, I vote
for November.

My new address: Mr. Wl. Oulianoff

4. Rue Marie Rose. 4.

Paris (XIV).

Accept, dear comrade, my most friendly greetings.

N. Lenin
