21/VI.

Comrade Teodorovich:

The meat tax has now been carried through.[1]Would you consider it timely just now to do everything possible to develop beef cattle husbandry on the _suburban_state farms, the industrial state farms (i.e., those attached to industrial workers), in the army, etc., etc.

You once said that the specialists believe it possible to develop rabbit-breeding and pig-breeding (without the use of cereals). Why not have some measures legalised in this sense right away.

Drop me a line.

Yours,
Lenin
