G. M.:

Please return this to me after reading.[1]

I may be partly to blame, having caused this bout of hysterics by excessive strictness.

But I am essentially right and will continue to insist, and have not accepted his resignation.

What do you think: perhaps we should pass all these measures through the State Planning Commission and specially confirm them in the C.L.D.?

(Read my letter to Popov of 4.VI. 1921: there is a list of 8 points.)

Note in particular: analysis of food distribution, fuel, its saving, etc.

A precise plan for the work of the Central Statistical Board and the State Planning Commission.

What is your opinion?

Lenin

22/VIII.

P.S. Phone me when you have read this, We shall have precisely to agree on all this. Circumstantially and precisely.

Lenin

P.P.S. Don’t show Popov’s letter to anyone.
