Lenin

382

To:   V. A. KARPINSKY

Dear V. K., I am sending you the text, received today (be sure to return
it), of the government report concerning the arrest.

It must be inserted into the editorial (in lieu of what we
sent you) and the words about our not, knowing whether the deputies were
arrested or not, etc., should be thrown out.

Drop a line, if only by postcard (that you have received this).

When you can put out No. 34 and No. 35.

We must make great haste now: we have received extremely interesting material concerning a “statement” of the Organising
Committee. [1]

For the time being this is a secret.

Delete the Georgian resolution.

Regards, Yours, Lenin
