LETTER TO THE PEOPLE'S COMMISSAR
FOR STATE CONTROL, K. I. LANDER
January 27, 1919

To the People's Commissar for State Control

I propose that you immediately send three experienced auditors (preferably Communists) to the legal department
of the Moscow City Food Supply Department and that they make themselves acquainted with all the
cases of abuses in the sphere of storage and distribution of goods. Attention must be paid to the report of the legal
department, which was taken by Grosberg and of which a copy remained in the department.
Inform me urgently of the results of this investigation.

Enclosure: Herewith Comrade Svidersky's statement.¹

Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
