September 13, 1904
Dear Vladimir Dmitrievich,
I think you should not send any application, as we decided previously.[1]
Stick a leaflet on the pamphlet,[2] printing on it (1) an advertisement about your publishing agency (and on the back); (2) Borisâs statement on its prohibition (as already set); (3) the letter from Boris dated Sept. 12 (this one),[3] without the postscript; (4) a short additional remark, something to this effect:
âSuch is the policy of people who so magnificently carried on a war âof principleâ against formalism and bureaucracy! It would, however, be interesting to learn which clause of the Rules prohibits Party members from publishing Party literature?
âV. Bonch-Bruyevichâ
Greetings to everybody. I shall be back on Thursday, the day after tomorrow.
Yours,
N. Lenin
P.S. Inform Sergei Petrovich: (1) that on Thursday we shall evict him from his quarters and shall be spending the night there ourselves; (2) that Pan wrote about Samsonov four days ago. He should have been sent direct!
- â At V. A. Noskovâs suggestion, V. D. Bonch-Bruyevich intended to apply to the Central Committee for the permission to organise a âV. Bonch-Bruyevich and N. Lenin Publishers of Social-Democratic Literatureâ.
- â The pamphlet Our Misunderstandings by Galyorka and Ryadovoi.
- â Lenin wrote his letter to V. D. Bonch-Bruyevich on the free space of V. A. Noskovâs letter of September 12, 1904, which he had received through Bonch-Bruyevich (see Lenin Miscellany XV, pp. 167â68).
