Dear Friend! Yesterday I took a walk in the mountains (after weeks of rain the weather has turned fine) and so did not reply to your letter yesterday. I am very glad that you are all well and not ill, and that you are busy.

For the Congress I should like to ask you to prepare all the necessary references (quotations) and documents concerning the liquidators. Paris and I would like to help you. The Stockholm records, quotations about the underground (No. 3 of *Nasha Zarya*, p. 335, and others), our Central Organ and the most important articles against the liquidators. It is possible that you may have to be a member of the “conference” (of all “factions”) and speak publicly as the accuser of the liquidators and as a supporter of the Party (more than that, as a representative of the Central Committee).

Regarding the “thrashing” given to Alexinsky, I have not written anything to the Parisians and do not want to. But... have you looked through the newspaper cutting I sent you?* Nik. Vas. was wrong: he helped

* This refers to an open letter by G. A. Alexinsky printed in *Nasha Rabochaya Gazeta*, No. 41, June 21, 1914. *Ed.*

Alexinsky, who will now play the part of the “victim”. That is clear. The boycott and the general resolution. That is good. The thrashing—bad: now all outsiders will be against Nik. Vas. And “morals” among the émigrés may become completely hooligan if fighting becomes general... Resolutions, boycott—these are the only suitable measures...

Nothing new here. The guests have not yet arrived. Gregory’s wife is still in hospital.

Sincerely yours, V. I.

I wish you all the best and the very best...
