Dear V. K.,
I am sending you the text, received today (be sure to return it), of the government report concerning the arrest.
It must be inserted into the editorial (in lieu of what we sent you) and the words about our not, knowing whether the deputies were arrested or not, etc., should be thrown out.
Drop a line, if only by postcard (that you have received this).
When you can put out No. 34
and No. 35.
We must make great haste now: we have received extremely interesting material concerning a “statement” of the Organising Committee.[1]
For the time being this is a secret.
Delete the Georgian resolution.
Regards,
Yours,
Lenin
