Dear L. B., Please hurry up and put out the C.O.

We are annoyed with you for your silence. You didn’t write from
Vienna. You didn’t convey a message of greetings to the Austrian
congress. [2] That’s no good. You didn’t write from Zurich!!

In Warsaw Jagiello got in. [3] We don’t know yet about Moscow

All the best, Yours, Lenin [1]

Y. I. Jagiello , a member of the Polish Socialist Party
(P.P.S.), was elected to the Fourth Duma from Warsaw. The Bolsheviks were
strongly against his admission into the Social-Democratic Duma group since
he had been elected with the support of the bourgeoisie and the bloc of the
P.P.S. and the Bund. By a majority of one vote (the decisive vote was cast
by a Menshevik) he was nevertheless admitted, but under pressure from the
Bolshevik deputies his rights in the group were limited; on all inner-Party
questions he was given voice but no vote. For details see Lenin’s article
“The Working Class and Its ‘Parliamentary’ Representatives”, and the
resolution of the Cracow conference of the C.C., R.S.D.L.P. with Party
functionaries, “The Social-Democratic Group in the Duma” (present
edition, Vol. 18, pp. 437–38, 460–61).
