To:   I. A. TEODOROVICH

21/VI.

Comrade Teodorovich:

The meat tax has now been carried through. [1]
Would you consider it timely just now to do everything possible to develop beef cattle husbandry on the suburban
state farms, the industrial state farms (i.e., those attached
to industrial workers), in the army, etc., etc.

You once said that the specialists believe it possible to develop rabbit-breeding and pig-breeding (without the
use of cereals). Why not have some measures legalised in
this sense right away.

Drop me a line.

Yours, Lenin
