V. I.

Lenin

Dear Grisha, And so the misunderstanding has been cleared up. It’s
not worth talking about it any more. It isn’t worth while
publishing in Paris under the censorship. If the possibility
of publishing without censorship definitely arises, then write,
in as much detail as you can.

We agree to a (provisional) editorial board for publishing
leaflets in Paris: Varin+Domov+1 from the Paris group. [1]

The papers say that there is to be a conference of the
Entente socialists at the Palais Bourbon on Dec. 24, 1916. Find
out whether this is so. We shall send a leaflet from the
Central Committee, and you make as thorough preparations as
possible for publishing and distributing it in that event.

Many thanks for all you are sending us. Send and write as much as you can.

Yours, Lenin

Notes:
[1]
In his earlier letters, G. Belenky, secretary of the Bolshevik
group in Paris, had suggested to Lenin that the publication of
the second issue of Sbornik Sotsial-Demokrata should be organised
in Paris, but failed to say beforehand that the edition could only
be a legal one. The planned publication of leaflets in Paris was
not carried out.
