I beg forgiveness for my late reply. I am very touched by your greeting. I wish you health and success in your studies and public work. I hope that you will successfully complete your studies and become the energetic, knowledgeable workers that are needed by our country.

Molotov, Voroshilov, Kaganovich, and I are sending you a small gift: a radio set and a gramophone with records. I think that now your radio connection will be put in order.

Greetings to you from Molotov, Voroshilov, and Kaganovich. I wish you all the best.

I. STALIN
