To:   A. D. METELEV

Comrade Metelev , Superintendent of All-Russia C.E.C. Houses

Please be sure to make available a room in the 1st House
of Soviets to Comrade Cecilia Samoilovna Bobrovskaya , whom I know very well as an old Party worker. She is
now living in absolutely intolerable conditions, and the
doctors have ordered her to be transferred at once to one
of the Houses of Soviets.

Inform my secretariat of execution. [2]

V. Ulyanov (Lenin )

Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars

P.S. I have known Bobrovskaya since the epoch before
1905, and know that she is capable of living in great hardship and be reticent about it excessively. That is why she
needs urgent help. [1]
