Dear friend! 1st*. As they say, Bogdanov's departure has caused discontent (among the intellectual riffraff, apparently). It seems our "dear old softie" Galerka is getting sour. The Prayboy faction raised their voices for Bogdanov 295.

They refer (the perennial manner of intellectual scoundrels) to the fact that everywhere there are advanced worker advocates (why were they never anywhere...). This is all nonsense, of course. We'll have to tell the story of the adventurism of the "Forward" group in *Enlightenment*. And now it is necessary that you (1) take measures. The matter must be clarified, we must argue with the stupid defenders of Forward-ism and Bogdanov (Danskii appears to be among them), warn them. (2) It is necessary to achieve the mandatory publication of your letter on the "Introduction to Political Economy" 296. Write at once. If yours doesn't go through, I'll send mine.
