Comrade Krestinsky
Comrade Shapovalov (Alexander Isidorovich) is one of the old Party comrades. A Petrograd worker.
I knew him very well in the Party while still abroad, where he always worked like a cart-horse.
Now he is ill. He is badly in need of extra nourishment.
Cannot it be arranged for him to use the Kremlin dining-room? I earnestly request this and a ration (increased) for him, and help of every kind.
Lenin
