EXCHANGE OF NOTES WITH L. B. KAMENEV

[August 1918]

I am in favor of not giving them a separate newspaper, but rather attempting to incorporate them (as a department) into the peasant newspaper.

Mitrofanov (from Sereda) attended a meeting with them and refused to take them on.

Yes, I heard, but I do not think that this statement from Mitrofanov alone is already decisive.

1 The correspondence apparently took place during one of the SNK sessions. The discussion concerns the publication of an independent newspaper by the People's Commissariat of Land.

2 A. Kh. Mitrofanov worked in the People's Commissariat of Land from August 7, 1918.
