Comrade Kolegaev  
The materials of the 1917 agricultural and urban census, according to the statement of the V.S.N.Kh., are located* in the census department of the Commissariat of Agriculture. A report on these materials is necessary in the Council of People’s Commissars.

Could you not come to the C.P.C. today? I would very much ask you to come and answer precisely, whether you will.
