I will speak with Sverdlov as soon as he arrives, and also regarding comrade Dybenko. I agree with you that it is necessary to reconsider the case and overturn the expulsion.

I will try to ring you up as soon as I manage to find free time.

I am very grateful for the greetings conveyed and I greet in turn your return to more active party work.

Lenin
