Geneva, June 30, 1908

Dear Comrade,

I wrote you that members of our Central Committee had been arrested in Russia. Now my friend informs me [that one member]^[1] of the Central Committee is free. He [writes] that the [first] half of the report [of our Party] has [been sent] to you ... the report for ... Stuttgart.

Within a month, my friend [writes], we shall be able to send the other half of the report, [if] Comrade Huysmans [confirms] that our report will be published.

Be so kind, dear comrade, as to answer this letter and I shall immediately forward [your reply to Paris].

With fraternal [greetings],
N. Lenin
