Comrade Kursky:

Prepare its draft together with the State Political Administration.[1]

28/II. Lenin

The legislating must be done with triple circumspection.Look before you leap! I very much doubt concerning Yakhontov. Make a personal check twice, three times and many more times.

Lenin

Have a copy made of my note and send it on to Kursky.
