On the envelope Lenin wrote: “Comrade D. Z. Shklovskaya, 3/69 Sheremetyevsky pereulok; (please sign for letter) (from Lenin).”— Ed.—Lenin

Dear D. Z.:

I quite understand you. When I spoke to your husband, I told him right away: wouldn’t it be better to go abroad? For I clearly saw that you would not be able to manage here (especially in Moscow). I was very much surprised that he refused to recognise this obvious fact.

I am not in Moscow at present.[1] I have written to Gorbunov (a very good man), asking him on my behalf to talk both with the CC and the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs about meeting your request.[2] If need be, speak to Gorbunov (I enclose his telephone number) without hesitation: he is a very good man.

Best regards to the whole family, the children especially.
