Comrade Kamenev:

I am sending you this letter as a supplement to our last talk. I believe it to be absolutely necessary to have as many CC members as possible make a personal acquaintance with Yakovenko[1] at the forthcoming congress. Please send this letter to all the members of the Orgbureau first, and then pass it on to the other CC members. Ask Molotov to phone me after he reads the letter.
