Dear L. B.,

I received today from Trotsky an invitation to “their” conference (on August 25).[2]

So they have organised it after all!

We, of course, are not going.

We want to have the Central Organ two-thirds ready, so as to issue a reply ...[1] as soon as their announcement comes out.

We shall begin sending in copy to the C.O. tomorrow.

See to it that the material is set up quickly and proofs corrected properly.

Why doesn’t Antonov (Britman) answer me? Is he in Paris? In good health?

Write when you propose to set out for Chemnitz. A paper should be prepared for the Germans in advance.

Why do you return the letters ... and don’t give us an answer about the Pannekoek article....

Yours,
Lenin
