To Comrades Stomonyakov, Lutovinov,
Krasin, Vorovsky, Kerzhentsev, Lomonosov,
Litvinov and others.

I strongly recommend the bearer, Comrade Nikolai Alexandrovich Yemelyanov. I have known him personally since July

1917, as one of the best among the old party guard of Petrograd. I ask you to give him your fullest trust and every assistance. I consider it extremely, extremely important to bring him closer to the affairs of the Foreign Trade Commissariat, for abroad, among the employees of the Foreign Trade Commissariat, we lack experienced party people, that is the first point. And secondly, I have a number of documents showing that foreign workers are often offended that the Foreign Trade Commissariat of the RSFSR does not seek ways of rapprochement with them*. And in this respect, Yemelyanov’s role should be very great.

I earnestly ask those of the addressees who become acquainted with Comrade Yemelyanov to write to me.

With communist greetings, V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
