Comrade Lezhava!

I request that you add the word unconditionally ("I am by no means unconditionally against direct trade of Azvneshtor with Constantinople," etc.) and send it with this addition.

I await your letter. (P. S. What is this treaty for 35 million francs in Rostov about?)

With comradely greetings, Lenin
