To:   V. A. KARPINSKY

Dear V. K., I am answering point by point

1) I am enclosing the arrangement of articles for No. 34 and No. 35

2) Send the proofs

3) Print 2,000 copies of each

4) On thin paper—250 copies each (till more arrives from Paris)

5) Do not send any money.

Write how much we owe.

Write immediately—when can Nos. 34 and 35 come out?

Date them at least a week apart.

They should now be put out immediately.

Regards, Yours, Lenin

A reference to the resolution “A Reply of the Georgian
Social-Democrats, Members of the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party,
Residing in Geneva and the Vicinity, to a National-Political Organisation
Operating in One of the Belligerent States”. This organisation made a
proposal to the Georgian Bolsheviks to use the war for the purpose of
uniting the nations oppressed by tsarism and organising a revolt against
Russia under the auspices and with the material support of one of the
belligerent powers. In their reply the Georgian Bolsheviks rejected this
proposal, which they regarded as a provocation on the part of the
imperialists.

The text of the resolution with Lenin’s note was published in 1931 in
Lenin Miscellany XVII , pp. 321–22.
