Dear Comrade Huysmans,

Thanks for your letter. As regards the S.D. deputies to the Third Duma, I have done everything in my power. I hope to be able to meet some of the deputies personally and then I shall try to repeat once again what I have already written them several times.^[1]

As regards the report and the payment of 300 francs, I shall let you know in a few days. Tomorrow I am leaving for Paris where I intend to settle. It is for this reason that I am unable to answer you at the moment. Within three or four days you will receive my address. If you need to communicate with me urgently, write to M-lle Oulianoff (pour N. Lénine), 27, Boulevard [St.-Marcel ]. Paris.

Yours,
N. Lenin
