To:   J. V. STALIN [1]

Comrade Stalin:

In sending on to you this letter of Comrade
Skvortsov-Stepanov, I strongly support his request. He is a sickly
person, but an especially valuable worker. He should be
given a rest in accordance with his request; I strongly
support this. Once he has recovered and taken a rest, he
will be of very great use both as a professor , nota bene,
and a writer.

18/ V.1922. Lenin
