TO C. HUYSMANS

17. 9. 09.

My dear Huysmans,

On my arrival in Paris I received your letter of 15. 9. 09. I called on the secretary of the bureau of our committee. He told me that he had recently received a letter from Gertsik and from the Bund committee. It shows that Gertsik has at last approached the committees of the other parties—something he should have done earlier. The Bund is in favour of a review. The Bureau of the Central Committee of our Party will consider the request for a review. So I hope that the “Gertsik incident” is closed.

As regards Rappoport, he asks you to let him know the exact date by which you must have the translation of the Programme and Rules. Please be so kind as to let me have the final date, either at my address or at Rappoport’s: 39, Boulevard Port-Royal, 39, Paris XIII.

Comrade Rappoport says that his position as a literary proletarian compels him to ask for payment for the translation at your discretion. He has firmly promised me to have the translation ready by the date you indicate.

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

Yours,
N. Lenin
