LAND DEPARTMENT*

To Moszemotdel
May 11, 1921

The workers' cooperatives of the Soldatenkovskaya Hospital request the transfer of the Petrovsky vegetable garden to the workers' collectives of the Soldatenkovskaya Hospital, the Khodynskaya Hospital, and the tractor workshops—in total, for up to 3,000 persons to be fed.

I support the request of the collectives and Dr. Rozanov, and I ask that it be satisfied immediately. If the Mosgubzemotdel encounters obstacles to this, I request that you inform me today of what these obstacles consist and what opinion the Mosgubzemotdel holds on the substance of the matter.274
