Comrade Mikhailov, C.C. Orgbureau

In view of the request from Iv. Iv. Skvortsov (Stepanov), please cancel his business trip and banish him instead to one of the state farms near Moscow, on a milk ration, to enable him to complete within four or six weeks, the writing he has undertaken, without being distracted by other business. (Find the state farm through the Moscow organ concerned.)
