Then please wait at your home—or at mine. I will do my best.
4 Lenin’s note was written in response to a memorandum from A. Tsyurupa, which read as follows: “Vladimir Ilyich, I have arrived with the doctor’s permission and under his escort, in order to speak with you for about ten minutes. I earnestly beg you not to refuse; I will wait indefinitely in the next room. A. Tsyurupa.”

MEMORANDUM FROM J. A. FOTIEVA.
[Summer 1918]
Linda [Alexandrovna]!
I am enclosing a letter to Tsyurupa*.
He needs to be sent off to the countryside for rest. Arrange—through Sverdlov and Tsyurupa’s brother—a trip for Tsyurupa here:
here there is one large, splendid room with heating; when we leave, we must find a cook for Tsyurupa, and we can establish a sanatorium for People’s Commissars right here. Be sure to see that this is done.
Best regards! Lenin.

In the summer of 1918, Lenin would occasionally travel to his dacha along the Northern Railway, near the station “Tarasovka,” in the vicinity of the hamlet “Komarovka”—the “Mal’debrodovo Grove”; later, a state farm was organized there, and still later, the trust “Forest Glades” was established.

To Maria Ilyinichna Ulyanova.
[February–March, prior to March 8, 1918]¹
I would very much appreciate it if you could gather together as soon as possible and bring to the Smolny, if possible tomorrow morning, the following literary materials: (Bukharin should assist in this endeavor).
1) My pamphlet “Materials for a Reconsideration of the Program.”
2) The same, but from Moscow (by Sokolnikov and others).
3) “Enlightenment” No. __, featuring my article on the revision of the program.
4) “Spartak” Nos. __, containing articles on the program² (numbers 3 and 4, it seems)³.
* Justification for the date: In preparation for the Seventh Party Congress, Lenin had requested that literature pertaining to the revision of the Party program be collected for him. On March 8, 1918, Lenin delivered a report at the Party Congress on the revision of the program, thoroughly examining each of the articles listed in the memorandum (see Works, vol. XXII, pp. 347–357).

For further information on the literature mentioned by Lenin, see Works, vol. XXII, notes 152, 155, and 156.
The issue No. 3 of the journal “Spartak” was incorrectly identified by Lenin—there are no articles on the program within its pages. In No. 4, dated August 23 (October 10), N. I. Bukharin’s article “Toward a Revision of the Party Program” was published.
