Letter to Alexei Lyubimov, First Half of September, 1909
Published: First published in 1933 in Lenin Miscellany XXV. Sent from Bombon to Paris. Printed from the original.
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1977, Moscow, Volume 43, page 219a.
Dear Mark,
Being busy with an article yesterday I overlooked by mistake in Grigoryâs draft (reply to the Capri group on behalf of the E.C.[1] ) the point about inviting a representative. This nonsense must absolutely be deleted; it is students that should be invited to Paris to study, not a representative. Some rabid otzovist, and even Lyadov or Alexinsky, might be elected representative, in which case we would find ourselves the dupes. No, there can be no question of inviting a representative.[2]
I still havenât got Plekhanovâs Dnevnik. I earnestly ask you to arrange for the forwarding office to send it to me at once. Without it I cannot do an article I have been asked to write.[3]
All the best,
N. Lenin
We sent you a cheque yesterday by registered mail. I trust you have received it.
