13/X. 1921.

Comrade Ignatyev!

I am informed that you are again not getting down to work in the Gokhran and are writing me a report.

I protest categorically.

I will not read reports.

I demand that you drop the report and begin work tomorrow itself.

Return this to me with a receipt confirming that you have accepted it for execution.

Greetings!

Your Lenin
