Letter to Nikolay Krestinsky, August 11, 1920
First published in 1965 in Collected Works, Fifth Ed., Vol. 51. Printed from the original.
11. VIII. 1920
Comrade Krestinsky
Comrade Shapovalov (Alexander Isidorovich) is one of the old Party comrades. A Petrograd worker.
I knew him very well in the Party while still abroad, where he always worked like a cart-horse.
Now he is ill. He is badly in need of extra nourishment.
Cannot it be arranged for him to use the Kremlin dining-room? I earnestly request this and a ration (increased) for him, and help of every kind.
Lenin

Comrade Krestinsky,
Comrade Lao, Chairman of the Union of Chinese Workers in Russia, needs to confer with you on a number of questions. Will you please give him this possibility.
With communist greetings,
Lenin
