26/XI. Dear comrade! Both copies of your resolution have been received. We did not pass them on to the Central Committee because a rather scandalous incident occurred recently. The Nikolaev Committee sent a resolution for transmission to *Iskra*, which was done. The resolution was returned by Martov with the most crude insults. The CC and the Central Organ, it seems, have reliably ascertained that there is no committee whatsoever in Nikolaev; the resolution was apparently written by some swindlers and impostors. Since the resolution bears no signatures, no date, and there is no indication of how the periphery responded to it, the resolution, he says, has no significance whatsoever, and Martov even refused to pass it on to the Central Organ, since he is fed up with all this fabrication of false resolutions. It is obvious that the Tver resolution will meet with the same fate.

We shall print it in the bulletin of the majority.

Please write and tell us how things are going?

Have you received the *Iskra* leaflet to party organizations concerning the zemstvo campaign? In pursuit of the "new higher type," the editorial board has talked a good deal of nonsense in this leaflet, including the absurdity that workers should not frighten liberals and should act in such a way as not to cause panic among them. This leaflet is provoking bitter disputes. Lenin answered it with the pamphlet "The Zemstvo Campaign and *Iskra*'s Plan."

Please send us the addresses for mailing you literature. The addresses to which you sent the resolution are perfectly satisfactory. Rogova will come to you from Perm.

* The letter was written by N. K. Krupskaya on V. I. Lenin's behalf. —Ed.
