To:   THE PRIBOI PUBLISHERS

Dear Colleague, I thank you very much for sending me the last part of the book
Marxism and Liquidationism I have another very important request
to make of you. Will you please send immediately all the printed sheets of
this book (i.e., the whole book) to the following address: rue du
Beffroi. 2. A. Bruxelles. Mr. Jean Popoff . This is an extremely
important matter which does not brook a moment’s delay. Please send it
express, hire a messenger and mail it specially from the Warsaw Station. I
shall pay all the expenses promptly by special remittance if need be.

If at all possible, I would ask you (on a matter of such great
importance as occurs only once in two years) to collect supplementary
material (sets of Pravda and Severnaya Rabochaya Gazeta [1] for 2 weeks, Nasha Zarya and the gems
of liquidationist literature—consult the editor of Trudovaya Pravda [2] ). In the same package. I trust you will meet my
request. The articles of Bulkin and Martov in No. 3 of Nasha Zarya , Axelrod’s articles on party reform—that is to say,
revolution, Stoikaya Mysl No. 18, St. Petersburg bourgeois
newspapers for the evening of 4.1V.1914 and morning of
5.IV.1914, articles on the bloc between the Narodniks and liquidators in
the insurance campaign. What ever you can manage , to catch the
mail train (evening train, I believe) of the Warsaw Line.
