I request you to receive the bearer, Comrade Prokofiev. His request to requisition
Surkov’s library for a district of 40,000 people is, in my opinion, correct; perhaps
certain rights of use should be left to Surkov? Please send me a copy of your decision
on this matter, and also I request you to assist the comrades from Rodniki in expanding
their library. Could not one of the requisitioned landlords’ libraries be sent to them?
Please inform me of this as well. 250
