Dear Anyuta,
We have been having “stormy” times lately, but they have ended with an attempt at peace with the Mensheviks— yes, yes, strange as it may seem; we have closed down the factional newspaper and are trying harder to promote unity.[1] We shall see whether it can be done.... I have only just managed to get rid of a lot of urgent business arising out of these changes.
Paris is a rotten hole in many respects.... I am still unable to adapt myself fully to it (after living here for a year!) but I nevertheless feel that only extraordinary circumstances could drive me back to Geneva!
[1] This is a reference to the January (1910) Plenum of the C.C., R.S.D.L.P.—Ed.
