Comrade Gorbunov! Read this today and today inform Lezhava (there are some dispatches from Krasin on this question) and Bogdanov, and Dovgalevsky (were there other projects? The MSNK should know), and perhaps the Chairman of the Small Sovnarkom, so that tomorrow in the SNK we can decide.116

5/XII. Lenin

P. S. Should we not verify this by convening today a meeting: Lezhava + Bogdanov + Dovgalevsky + Leplevsky with the right of substitution?
