Comrade Vladimir Dmitrievich,

Will you please, if you have now recovered (when you are fully recovered), 

1) make a check through witnesses without any publicity;

2) summon Gil and, for a start, only reprimand him (mildly], and warn him that in view of his good behaviour up to now you are limiting yourself to the smallest measure of punishment, without any entry in his service book, but in the event of a repetition it will be bad for him.^[1]

Greetings,
Yours,
Lenin
