Copy to the Astrakhan Gubernia Committee of the R.C.P.

Every effort must be made, without losing a single hour,
and taking the maximum precautions, to transport all the
oil from Guriev at first open water. Reply immediately whether all measures have been taken, how prepared you
are, what are the prospects, whether the best people have
been appointed, and who is responsible for ensuring safe
transport by sea.
