Lydia Alexandrovna!

I am enclosing a letter to Tsiurupa.

He absolutely must be sent to rest in the countryside. Arrange (through Sverdlov and Tsiurupa's brother) a trip for Tsiurupa here: there is 1 large magnificent room here, heating; when we leave, you must find a cook for Tsiurupa, and a sanatorium for the People's Commissars can be set up here.

By all means do this 174.

Greetings! Lenin
