TO A. I. RYKOV
Comrade Rykov:
I propose that the resignation should be rejected, and
the “termination of the duties performed” interdicted.
Larin is no good as chairman. This should be backed up
through the C.C. today.

Comrade Gorbunov:
I have known the author for more than 20 years. A most
loyal revolutionary. His sister (or two?) are working for
us and, everyone says, are doing it selflessly and splendid-
ly. I believe, he has quite deserved our help. I earnestly
request you not to be angry over his nervousness (the man
is worn out) and to help him in every possible way.

TO THE SORMOVO WORKS
The Sormovo Works is making a caterpillar crane for
Gidrotorf, but this is being done much too slowly. In view
of the need to test the crane in the coming summer season,
I request that every effort be made to have the crane all
ready in April to make its delivery possible to Electro-
peredacha Station in early May for all-round trials, so that,

once all the necessary improvements are ascertained, the
mass production of cranes could be started on this model.

Please let me know what you have done to publish
abroad the decree on concessions,

order to complete what has yet to be done in this respect,
I propose that you make use of Comrade Kopp, who is now
in Moscow.

I have just spoken to you on the telephone about this

many drafts, so as to have the lot go to the Narrow C.P.C.,
say, on Saturday.

TO N. P. GORBUNOV
The estate is said to comprise about 30 dessiatines of
ploughland, and 130 of forest. The Saratov Gubernia Execu-
tive Committee is said to be agreeable. I think this should
be placed before the Narrow Council right away, and an
inquiry and on-the-spot study appointed through the
Narrow Council.
