Letter to Pyotr Maslov, May 31, 1894
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1977, Moscow, Volume 43, page 42a.
31.V.94
Just received your second letter and am hurrying to reply; if you write at once your answer may still find me here (I’ll probably be here until June 12).
Your suggestion appeals to me very much in principle. On particulars, however, I cannot pass judgement, not having seen your article. As for my own article,[1] strictly speaking, I do not think it is worth printing in its present form (the form of a simple review of V. Y. Postnikov’s book).[2]
(In regard to the cost of publication, I think something not very long would be much cheaper.)
All in all it seems that the matter will have to be put off until autumn,[3] for even if you managed to send the article here it would still take quite some time before it could be published. We shall have to discuss this thoroughly in detail by letter. Still better would it be to meet in person[4] ; if you have the means (and the desire) to publish and want to write, and if we see eye to eye, it should be possible to arrange....[5]
