Comrade Semashko:

(1) I earnestly request you to appoint a special person (preferably a well-known physician, with a knowledge of foreign countries and known abroad for sending abroad, to Germany (of Tsyurupa, Krestinsky, Osinsky, Kurayev, Gorky, Korolenko and others). The utmost skill should be employed in inquiring, requesting, persuading, and writing to Germany, to help the sick, etc.

Do this most punctiliously

(thoroughly).

(2) Send the best physician to give N. I. Bukharin a medical examination (the heart, among other things) and let me know the result.

Lenin
