Comrade Bryukhanov,

I am sending you two documents. Will you please read them and return both to me:

1) About Ivanovo-Voznesensk Gubernia.

We shall raise it in the Council of Defence on 29. IX.^[1]

It is necessary to pay the most serious attention and to try to meet their requests in the greatest possible degree.

2) About Tambov Gubernia.

Pay attention. Is the requisition quota of 11 million poods correct? Should it not be cut down?

With communist greetings,
Lenin
