The committee has been appointed for Saturday, 26.XI at 10 a.m. in the Burgvogtenhalle. Be there at 9.45 so as to see Huysmans and_Plekhanov_ (I have written to both about you[1]). No later! Better earlier so as to arrange everything.

You are the national secretary. No one but you and Plekhanov has the right to receive admission cards.

Since I wrote about you to Huysmans (I gave him your official name—_Kameneff_—and also your address and real name), there is no need to show your mandate.

Get Malecki at least to come as your suppléant,[2]but let him not take the floor when you are there and speak_only_ on Polish questions. Mention this only to Huysmans.

I am sending two mandates for the delegation—take your choice.

A detailed letter on the tasks of the delegation, votes, and the rest has been sent to Troyanovsky for forwarding to Yuri (Bekzadian. Bolleystra&Bwhatthe;e. 4. Zurich).

We cursed you roundly for your silence, but now peace!

Ask Rubanovich when you have a chance whether Plekhanov spoke about uniting with the Socialist-Revolutionaries.

Yours,
Lenin

For the trip: 40 frs. per lecture+50. The Committee of the Organisations Abroad is defraying the expense.
