TO THE EDITORS OF ZVEZDA¹
[March 25-26, 1912. Paris.]

P.S. (1) Be sure to send as soon as possible the books on the electoral law of June 3, 1907. Either another copy of the reference book for 1910*[,] and also the law (electoral) with a lawyer’s commentaries. Consult “your people” and send them quickly. Without this, the voter’s guide is impossible³. (2) I am again receiving Zvezda irregularly. Remind the dispatch department. Give them my address (the old one). It is impossible to send so irregularly. (3) Do not put the article “Fundamentals of a Platform” through the board; publish it over a signature and with a subtitle (an experiment in commentary); the board must not “approve” any platform: bear in mind that one awkward step here and you will have no end of trouble. Let the board refrain and keep silent. Approval of a platform is a matter for quite a different body⁴. (4) Send newspapers, journals, books. Without this it is a disaster. (5) Write precisely when the daily newspaper is to appear, what format, etc.⁵ (6) Fight Zhivoye Dyelo more vigorously—then victory is assured⁶. Otherwise it will be a disaster. Do not be afraid of polemics. Be sure to have 2-3 polemical articles a week.
