26.X.1922

Comrade Krzhizhanovsky

and Comrade Pyatakov

I am sending you the enclosed.[1] I have no copy.

This requires an opinion fairly soon (2 or 3 days, I think).
That is the first thing.

The whole matter is to be solved officially.
That is the second.

Please hurry.

Ivan Ivanovich Radchenko is an old Bolshevik: he must be helped.

Yours,
Lenin

Notes

[1] A reference to a letter from I. I. Radchenko, Chairman of the Central Board for the Peat Industry, of October 26, 1922, asking Lenin for help in acquiring abroad an improved peat-extracting machine made by Strohl & Co. in order to mechanise peat operations, and for allocating the necessary funds for its purchase and to cover the cost of sending a commission fortesting the machine on the spot. On October 27, 1922, the Council of Labour and Defence decided to allocate from its reserve fund 7,000 gold rubles for the purpose.
