To:   L. B. KAMENEV

Dear L. B., I am sending you a letter from Vera. You will see from it why we
decided to print the reply to the Germans for Chemnitz and to
print it in
Leipzig. [2] The Paris order must therefore be cancelled. I hope work on
it has not yet been started and the cancellation will not cause any great
inconvenience.

You must get without fail to Chemnitz a day or two in advance. We shall give a credential from Rabochaya Gazeta to a
Bolshevik here who will go there from Zakopane. He speaks German.

# See plan

There’s a serious war ahead of you in Chemnitz.

||
We shall move to a new flat on September 2. The new address: Ulica
Lubomirskiego. 47, au premier, à gauche. (Grigory is at No. 35 in the
same street.)

Write whether you are sure to be in Chemnitz on the 12th or
13th of September. The reply to the Germans will have to be sent to your
name postlagernd [1] in Chemnitz.

Best wishes, Yours, Lenin

Peuple (Brussels) reprints from Russkoye Slovo [3] that a conference will soon take place in Vienna
(sic!) of Social-Democratic organisations+the Bund+the Letts+the Poles,
etc.!!!

[[

Drop in at the Paris group a couple of times and give them a talk. For they
have been left to their own devices ....

P.S. If an announcement of the liquidators’ conference comes out, send
it over express .

A reference to Lenin’s pamphlet The Present Situation in the R.S.D.L.P. (see present edition, Vol. 18, pp. 203–20). The pamphlet
was sent to the delegates to the Congress of the Social-Democratic Party of
Germany held September 15–21, 1912, in Chemnitz.

[3]
Russkoye Slovo (Russian Word)—a daily, founded in 1895 and
published in Moscow by I. D. Sytin. Formally independent, it championed the
interests of the Russian bourgeoisie from moderate liberal positions.

The newspaper was closed down in November 1917, but it resumed
publication in January 1918, first as Novoye Slovo (New Word) and
then as Nashe Slovo (Our Word), until July 1918, when it was
finally closed down.
