July 30, 1921

I am drawing your attention to a telegram from Natsarsnos in Trebizond of July 19, regarding the possibility of purchasing a large consignment of coal there, with prices for coal cited, as well as a large consignment of grain. Obtain a copy of this telegram at once and achieve the maximum acceleration of the matter, for it may be possible to provide substantial assistance to Baku industry.

Inform me of what steps you have taken.

Lenin.
