To:   N. A. SEMASHKO

3. V. 1920

If Comrade Semashko is absent, then for Comrade Solovyov

Comrade Semashko, Please receive the bearer, Comrade Dmitry Nikitich
Yeroshenkov , a doctor’s assistant. He has been recommended
to me by a very reliable comrade. Comrade Yeroshenkov has
a few weeks to spare (until the special assignment we are
giving him) and during that time would like, on the one
hand, to study up on medicine and, on the other, to carry
out medical work. Will you please help him.

Yours, Lenin

P.S. The comrade has invented a very practical disinfecting chamber. It should be tested and used.
