Comrade Dzerzhinsky!
Please arrange for a stricter inspection. Couldn't you appoint impartial people, not Petrograders, for the inspection?
I heard from another source (besides the given letters + Kalmykova)
that in this matter, the local Cheka allowed outrages.
It must be checked thoroughly and quickly.

Please, upon completion of the matter, return the attached
documents to me and arrange for your secretary to send me a telephonogram about the result 1.
Greetings! Your Lenin
