Dear Friend,

I have just settled with Grigory that he is not going (Zina is still ill!) (I am not going either)—and that you and Popov (and probably+Kamsky+Safarov only as secretary) have been endorsed by the Central Committee.

Tomorrow I shall send you the beginning and the end of the report. I am also preparing for you heaps of advice: I am sure you will wipe the floor with both Plekhanov (he is going!!) and Kautsky (going too). We shall teach them a good lesson.... Splendid!

Yours,
V.U.
