Written not earlier than November 13, 1913 · First published in 1933 in Lenin Miscellany XXV. Sent from Cracow to St. Petersburg. Printed from the original. · page 120

Dear Colleagues,

I hasten to congratulate with all my heart all Marxist workers on the victory of the cause of the majority against the disorganisers, on the setting up of a group which does not wish to thwart the will of the majority.^[1] I have just received the Sunday issue of Za Pravdu. The calculations are particularly good—they should be continued. Once again, greetings to all from all.

Yours,
Lenin
