Comrade Kamenev:

I was given this yesterday by Khinchuk.[1] Have a look at it and show to all members of the United Economic Commission.[2]

It looks as if the business is growing, isn’t it? Will someone suggest methods of stricter check-up?

2/XII. Lenin

P.S. Please also send this to all members of the Politbureau.
