V. I.

Lenin

459

To:   A. A. NOVITSKY

Comrade Novitsky:

Perhaps, it will be clearer this way:

column 3 : actual amount in hand and issued (—), this will then give below the figure:
remaining in hand

+ and next to this

columns 6 and 6 bis , to whom, where, when, whose decision,
Then

allocations 4 + 8 + 9

10 th in the 4th from the top and then amount in hand minus allocations,
i.e., 5th column.

Such tables (as you have been sending me) must be top secret, [1]

For this, I think, only two copies must be made (one for you+one for me for the Politbureau) without retyping.
Add another column: earmarked by the C.C. , perhaps under this head:

Earmarked under a report by
Comrade Molotov:
when earmarked, how much, aim.

With communist greetings, Lenin

P.S. Return this to me with your mark and the enclosures.
