ABSTRACT
I beg to state that I have recently read reports in the newspapers of Changsha about Jimei Publishing House’s reprinting of Collected Writings on the Peasants. 2 These books were originally made available for reference to our institute’s 3 students and to special representatives of the peasant movement from different provinces and were not for sale. 4 If it is necessary to reprint them, the following three conditions must be met: (1) your honorable association 5 must examine the matter and exclude from publication such dated items as, for example, 466 Current Tactics for the Peasant Movement in Hunan; 6 (2) prices must not be too high; only the cost of printing and paper may be charged; 7 [the reprints] must be checked by the association, and no mistakes are permitted. Otherwise, reprinting is not permitted. I authorize your association to handle this matter on my behalf.
