Dear A. D.! You are becoming absolutely impossible to deal with in your handling of state property.

My prescription: three weeks of treatment! And obey Lydia Alexandrovna, who will direct you to a sanatorium.

Really, it's unforgivable to squander weak health so carelessly. You must get better!

Greetings! Your Lenin
