TO C. HUYSMANS

11. 9. 09.

Dear Huysmans,

I am very much surprised that Comrade Charles Rappoport, who promised to translate the programme and rules of our Party, has not yet written to you. He promised to write to you several weeks ago.

In two or three days I shall be in Paris and will ask Rappoport immediately and let you know.

As for the case of Mr. Hertzik, it is very good that you have withdrawn the more than unjust accusation against our Party.

You ask for the address of the comrade “to whom Hertzik should apply.” I repeat: he should apply to the committees of those parties whose representatives took part in the court that tried Hertzik’s case. The address of the Foreign Bureau of the Central Committee of the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party is as follows: Mr. D. Kotlyarenko (for the Bureau, etc.), 110, Rue d’Orléans, 110, Paris, XIV. This address is systematically published in our newspapers. I also repeat that I shall never answer Hertzik, because that scoundrel permits himself to make extremely insulting insinuations against the Russian Social-Democrats. It is very simple. If he dares to assert that the Russian Social-Democrats were “partial” judges, why does he not apply to the committees of the other parties that tried him?

Yours,
N. Lenin
