MEMO TO D. I. KURSKY AND ASSIGNMENT TO N. P. GORBUNOV

Comrade Kursky:

Prepare its draft together with the State Political
Administration. [1]

28/ II. Lenin

The legislating must be done with triple circumspection.
Look before you leap!
I very much doubt concerning
Yakhontov. Make a personal check twice, three times and
many more times.

Lenin

Comrade Gorbunov:

Have a copy made of my note and send it on to Kursky.

Lenin
