Re a joint or different delegations with the liquidators, I would advise you not to decide that now, i. e., not to mention it. “The delegates will decide themselves”[4]
(and we, of course, will make it two different ones: according to the Rules of the International, we should first try a joint one, and if no agreement is reached, then the issue is decided by the distribution of votes in the Bureau).
Re Kollontai’s report, I agree with you: let her remain, but not from Russia. In the debates you will take the floor first or second.
Best wishes,
Yours
truly,[2]
V. I.
I was expecting a reply from you today. Nothing yet. Letters take longer than to Brussels!
We received the parcel. Many thanks. I’ve got your despatch. Many, many thanks! Mr. chairman is not yet here!! And I do not yet know, if my proposition (to send you) will be voted (if not, Gregory will go himself). More thanks!![3]
