Comrade Krestinsky!

Thank you very much for your letter.

I very much hope that you will ensure that accurate reports on the sick and prescriptions for their treatment are properly put in order 51. Could you not order a report on Naum Yakovlevich Tasine 52, correspondent of a Madrid newspaper, living in Berlin (Wilmersdorf, Jenaerstr. 20, bei Temkin*), former contributor to the "Kievskaya Mysl'" 53. Who is this man? A Menshevik? I am interested in his Spanish books on the Russian Revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat? 54 Will they be in German or in French?

Greetings! Lenin
