50. To N. P. GORBUNOV^[1]

Written on January 26, 1921 · First published in 1959 in Lenin Miscellany XXXVI. Printed from the original. · page 75

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 splendidly. 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.

26/1. Lenin
