My dear Huysmans, I received your letter of September 15, 1909, on my arrival in Paris. I
have seen the secretary of the Bureau of our Committee. He informed me that
he had recently received a letter from Gertsik and the Bund committee
showing that Gertsik had at last applied to the committees of the other
parties, which he should have done earlier. The Bund is for reviewing the
case. The Bureau of the Central Committee of our Party will examine the
request for a revision. This, I hope, closes the “Gertsik incident”.

As regards Rappoport, he asks you to let him know the exact date when you absolutely must have the translation of the Programme
and Rules. Kindly write what the final date is either to me or to
Rappoport, 39 Boulevard Port Royal, 39. Paris. XIII.

Comrade Rappoport says that his position as a literary proletarian
compels him to ask to be paid for the translation, at your discretion. He
definitely promised me that he would have the translation ready by the date you set.

As for the historical survey, I have found a Russian comrade who will
do it in a few days.

Yours,
N. Lenin
