MEMORANDUM FROM THE ADMINISTRATION OF AFFAIRS OF THE SNK AND STO

28 December 1920

I found the attached paper on my desk today.

I do not know from whom.

I am very interested in this matter. I feel quite ill from insomnia and therefore ask you to keep watch over this matter, check on its implementation, write (if necessary) an additional communication in my name.

Please speak with the appropriate member of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the National Economy, show him this letter, discuss what measures of assistance are possible and needed (perhaps gather the Petrograd delegates of the 8th Congress while they are here and speak with them: be sure to do this — there may be other measures for clarifying what is lacking and finding means to help) and try to help in every way possible.

With communist greetings, Lenin
