8/VII. 1921
People's Commissar of Posts and Telegraphs
Comrade Dovgalevsky

From the attached copies of telegrams, you see that my telegram to Comrade Pyatakov from 24. VI was delivered to him only on 5. VII. I draw your attention to such an inadmissible delay and warn you that in the future I will impose stricter penalties for this.

Please inform me of the names of those responsible, as well as what penalty you have subjected them to.

Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
