Lydia Alexandrovna:
You can congratulate me on my recovery. The proof is my handwriting, which is beginning to look human again. Start preparing books for me (and sending me lists) of 1) science, 2) fiction, 3) politics (the latter last of all, because it is not yet allowed).
Will you complain to Rykov (Tsyurupa has left, hasn’t he?) about all the secretaries: they are misbehaving, suffering from malaria, etc. Let him arrange for their rest in Riga, in Finland, near Moscow, etc. I think Rykov should issue a reprimand to Smolyaninov and yourself for failing to take good care of the secretaries.
Regards,
Lenin
