I suggest sending Yuri the following reply.
(His point is probably at the end of § 2: “without making any use of it”. If he wants
us not to attack his article now in the press, he is right.

But later? If their faction is formed and the struggle flares up?

If he wants us not to take copies of his article and not to show it to Party members,
we cannot agree to that.

We shall not conceal it from Party members.)
I think the reply I propose is sufficient for the time being*. Let him make himself ridiculous.

We must have his article to show it to Alexander, the Bureau, and so on. That is necessary.

I approve of your letter to Bukharin. I propose (not as an ultimatum) one insertion 355.

Better send it for the time being only in your name, less officially, and in view of the
tone it is more convenient. We shall discuss it: it is not as urgent as the reply to Yuri (would it not be better first to get Yuri’s reply and then send your letter to Bukharin?).

Salut. Lenin
P.S. If you do not need the maps of all the war theatres in *Le Temps* and the *Daily Telegraph*, cut them out and send them to me.
