The letter was dictated by V. I. Lenin over the telephone. Printed 
from a typewritten copy.
* * Written on the following communication from the Central Press Agency 
(reply to 
V. I. Lenin's inquiry of July 21, 1921): "The Central Press Agency has not yet received the decree of the All-Russia Central Executive Committee of July 1 on the reporting of local bodies at all (except for two copies sent with your letter). At present only 3,000 copies have been printed, which are at the disposal of the All-Russia Central Executive Committee. After printing at the Cheka printing house, we will take all measures for delivery and inform you.
Regarding the delivery of 'Economic Life' to the economic conferences, we are issuing instructions to all branches of the Central Press Agency to supply the economic conferences with this newspaper in two copies as a priority."
