Urgent. Out of turn
Top Secret
London – Delsovpra* for Krassin

In response to your dispatch dated November 14 regarding Lezhava’s return in the latter half of the month.

Please bear in mind that we have been waiting far too long; let Lezhava make every possible effort to hasten his departure.

Radchenko informed me that Lezhava is leaving London on the sixteenth. Please telegraph the exact date of departure without delay—no later than the 49th.

November 17. Lenin
