270. To L. B. KAMENEV

Written not earlier than January 14, 1913 · First published in 1964 in Collected Works, Fifth (Russian) Ed., Vol. 48. Sent from Cracow to Paris. Printed from the original. · page 328

Dear L. B.,

I am sending you the remaining resolutions....

It has been strictly resolved that they be kept secret until published in the press....^[1]

Your letter has been handed to Malinovsky.

The answer you sent to Huysmans is excellent.

Our general impression of the meeting is an excellent one. I hope yours will be the same. Let intimates into this, for the time being confidentially (Kamsky, Albert...).

Petrovsky is now ours completely—so are the six—a couple of good non-legalists have returned to Russia. A single “cloud” (a black one)—there is still no money. Complete bankruptcy.

A thousand greetings,
Yours,
Lenin

The telegram of the 30 Bolsheviks has been received. A thousand greetings and best wishes for the New Year!! From myself and from all our friends here.

Yours,
Lenin
