[July 13, 1921]

Comrade Borodin, Dear Comrade, Could you possibly obtain for me materials concerning the American Third Party of the worker-peasant or worker-farmer union, or the Non-Partisan League, and its activities in the state of North Dakota, which is in the hands of this party. I would like to have a few, but the most important, documents concerning this party and its activities in North Dakota. Even better, in addition to these documents, a brief note from you on this matter. If it is not too much trouble, please drop me a line as soon as possible, whether you could fulfill this and when 2.
Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars
