Comrade Babkin!
I have received and read your papers.
Submit your business proposals regarding fish export and the success of the autumn fishing season immediately (July 25) to Avanesov for inclusion in the Council of Labour and Defence (and to Potyaev, of course, first and foremost) 2.
We will grant you leave if the doctor states and writes that it is impossible to postpone the leave until winter. Otherwise, it will be in winter.
I advise you to speak with Potyaev personally and dispel his doubts about your "competition." If you wish, everything will be settled.
Who exactly among the "local" workers is dissatisfied with Potyaev? Why? When and where was this stated?
I do not believe it: it's just a squabble; we will settle it.
With communist greetings, Lenin
July 24 [1921]
