[August 2, 1921]

Dear V. Dm.!
Please write to me,
1) is it true that you took the Dukhobors onto your sovkhoz 1 and are very satisfied with them?
2) What is the situation with the transportation of Dukhobors (a) from Canada (b) from the Caucasus to Russia (if you know this)
3) will a report for the Council of Labour and Defence be compiled and printed for that regional economic council where the sovkhoz + brick factories and so on, about which you told me, are operating.
Who officially manages this sovkhoz?
Who is in the regional economic council?
With com. greetings, Lenin
P. S. All these questions are of a P R I V A T E nature. Therefore, I ask you N O T to refer to my letter to anyone.
