Letter to Hu Qiaomu
(March 20, 1951)

Comrade Qiaomu:

(1) The propaganda conference can be held for ten days from May 5 to May 15. If the Fourth Plenary Session has not yet convened after May 15, it may be extended for another five days; otherwise, do not extend it.

(2) The decision on theoretical education may first be issued to all localities as a draft, and the notice shall be issued accordingly.

(3) A small number of articles from the Selected Works to be published ahead of schedule, after I have reviewed them, will be sent to you. One or two may be published in April. Do not publish my articles in *Study*.
