18.V.1922

Comrade Pavlov:

I have received a communication from M. A. Bonch-Bruyevich. Please find out from him by phone what amount (in pre-war rubles) would be required all together for running the business well. If he cannot give you one figure, let’s have no more than two (from—to; or minimum and maximum). Please send reply by telephone message or urgent note addressed to my secretary, Comrade Lepeshinskaya.[1]

With communist greetings,

Lenin
