Dear L. B.,

Yesterday we sent you No. 16 of *Nevskaya Zvezda*.

We, too, were extremely indignant over No. 6 of *Nevsky Golos*, and we have already sent an indignant letter to *Pravda*. Today we are writing something else for No. 17 of *Nevskaya Zvezda*...*

It is impossible to speak legally about “party candidates”; we can do that in the Central Committee leaflet and in *Rabochaya Gazeta*.

The move has so far given us: 1) proximity by one day; 2) the arrival of Abramchik (this is secret). He is already here. Apparently he will help with the frontier. Possibly (is this still to come?) also with the elections in St. Petersburg; 3) hope of arranging a number of further meetings. For this purpose two people have already been sent**. If they are not caught, it will be useful. But everything is moving slowly and through a series of failures.

As for the newspaper, you must do this: subscribe to *Russkiye Vedomosti* 90 (you choose *R. V.* yourself, of course) (and send them to us twice a week, 4–5 days after receiving them). We will pay. You will get nothing more from *Pravda*; they say the circulation has dropped to 30,000, and things are difficult...
