Moscow Provincial Department of the All-Russian Union of Metal Workers.
[November 3, 1921]

I request that you send to the Council of Labor and Defense data on the actual supply of metal-working plants for the last month, which are available to the provincial department.

Chairman of the Council of Labor and Defense

To Mezhlаuk*.

Send a copy to comrade Gorbunov.

December 9, 1921

Comrade Mezhlаuk, I shall instruct the manager of affairs of the Council of Labor and Defense to verify the fulfillment of what was promised to you. The result of the verification will be communicated to you by letter or when you arrive at the congress. I am concerned lest you fall into some excess, especially as regards excessively high rates for individual persons. Inform me to what extent your enthusiasm extends in this respect, and perhaps in some other respects as well.

Lenin.
