To:   N. A. SEMASHKO [1]

October 4, 1910

Dear N. A., We must meet as soon as possible to talk about the speediest
convocation of a meeting of Bolsheviks (anti-Vperyodists). Yesterday
Mark+Lozovsky+Lyova departed with a protest against a factional
newspaper. [2] The funny fellows! I am glad that the muddlers are out
of it, but we must speedily ascertain the attitude of the remaining people. If possible come out as quickly as you can and take steps for an early
meeting.

Yours,

Lenin
