Comrade Tsyurupa:

I have received your note concerning the postponement (membership of the Commission for Utilisation).^[1] It is a   great pity that you have handed it in so late (the day of the sitting). I refuse to lose a week.

The candidates: Kritsman, Smirnov, Holtzmann.

Your candidates, i.e., your list?

Lenin
