Comrade Litkins!

Your letter (concerning the dictionary) is precisely incorrect 263.

You are heaping administration upon M. N. Pokrovsky instead of freeing him from administration.

It is the administrator's business — to order 1) that the documents be sought out (was there a resolution? whose? when? who is responsible?).

2) If "the matter has not advanced," to find out why (if it is a question of rations — how much? — then, perhaps, we should postpone it until autumn?).

With comradely greetings, Lenin

P. S. I recall that Pokrovsky has spoken to me about this more than once, but he does not engage in administration.
