26. IV.1921

Comrade Gorbunov:

I must call your attention to the extreme disorder in our office. The attached telephone message shows that it was sent out on 24/IV (hour?)

and received at 11.25 on 25.IV.

(i.e., the telephone message took 11 hours to arrive !)

I received it at 12.00 on 26/IV.

This is most outrageous!

I propose that you should conduct right away a full and thorough investigation to find out who is to blame,
and give me the facts. The office routine should be reviewed and renewed.

V. Ulyanov (Lenin )

Chairman, C.P.C.
