Letter to Julius Martov, December 19, 1903

Dear Comrade,
The CC leaves it to the editors of the Central Organ to issue instructions to Comrade Bonch-Bruyevich as regards both the text of the statement âFrom the Editorsâ in his paper[1] and the nature of the literary supervision to be exercised. Both questions in our opinion are within the competence of the CO and we cannot undertake to issue instructions on them to Comrade Bonch-Bruyevich.
The editors should have taken up the mediocrity of the articles and Comrade Bonch-Bruyevichâs inexperience not with the CC but with Comrade Bonch-Bruyevich himself.
The CC will of course receive the proofs and will do its best to advise in particularly important matters. We do not think the question of the text of the statement is very important, but âspecial supervisionâ by the C. O. over a publication like Bonch-Bruyevichâs paper would, in our opinion, be useful.
We shall consider the question of most convenient type.
We have left it to Comrade Bonch-Bruyevich himself to hand in the copy to the printers if the editors of the CO have no objections to this.
