V. I. Lenin

To The Workers At The

Stodol Cloth Mill In Klintsi [1]

November 8, 1922

Dear Comrades, I thank you most heartily for your greetings and your gift. I will tell
you as a secret that you ought not to send me any gifts. I earnestly request
you to spread this secret among the workers as widely as possible.

Please accept my best thanks, greetings and wishes.

Yours,

V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
