97. To THE EDITORIAL BOARD OF ISKRA

Written February 26, 1904 in Geneva (local mail) · First published in 1930. Printed from the original. · page 234

The C.C. informs the editorial board of the C.O. that it regards the instruction that letters intended for the C.C. are to be handed to the C.O. as an illegitimate and unscrupulous confiscation and a violation of trust.

The C.C. states also that it has already fully taken the measure of Comrade Blumenfeld, who has now been entrusted with the sorting out of letters, on account of his unreliability in matters of secrecy and his proneness to make rows.

The C.C. will therefore bring to the knowledge of all Party members such confiscation and its inevitably harmful consequences for our work.

The C.C.
