Comrade Poletayev has forwarded to us through Lenin the plan for the publication of the report of the Social-Democratic group which the group discussed before Poletayev’s departure for Berlin.

We on our part are fully in favour of the group’s plan and suggest agreement on the following final terms.

We shall set up an Editorial Committee to publish the report consisting of Steklov+Semashko+Zinoviev (or Kamenev).

The committee shall undertake (1) to draft a plan for the report and to negotiate with the group for its approval; (2) to apply to the Party for money, with the group contributing no less than 500 rubles; (3) to do the final editing of the report (20 signatures) by (such-and-such) time.

The answer to this suggestion should come from the group as a whole.

(Signatures of Pokrovsky+Gegechkori)^[1]

Notes

[1] Evidently a suggestion that Pokrovsky and Gegechkori should sign the official reply of the parliamentary group to the present letter.
