NOTE TO G. V. CHICHERIN

23.IX.1918

Comrade Chicherin!

I am sending the documents back to you. You did not write down the purpose of their dispatch: if the purpose is to consult, then I have nothing against it. I have not seen Stalin and have not spoken with him.

Your Lenin

1 What documents are in question has not been established.

2 On September 22, 1918, I. V. Stalin departed for Tsaritsyn.
