Comrade Gorbunov!

1) Regarding your note on the Secretariat. We'll discuss it when we meet. For now, don't begin.

2) I am enclosing a letter from Shklovskaya. Request: read it and get in touch with the Central Committee (secretariat) and the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs, telling them that I am asking them to fulfill her request, as I understand it. I know the family, they will not survive in Russia now.74

3) Regarding electric lighting in Gorki**: I have received a petition also from the village of Siyanovo (did they send it to you?). Let whoever is responsible look into it, although it is far away.

Are you speeding up the whole matter?
