Note to Comrade Gorbunov
29. IX. 1921
Comrade Gorbunov!
It is necessary to clarify the matter concerning Karabugaz. If [you are] very busy, it can be postponed for a few days, but no more.
Latsis1 in Pravda of 29.IX again repeats “The Golden Bottom”–
Take from the TSIK secretariat my recent correspondence with Professor Ipatiev (member of the Collegium of the Supreme Council of National Economy), a specialist and head of our chemical industry.
He answered me: it is impossible to put it into operation now.
Is Glavsol mistaken, or who is?
Should we take the Glavsol data and look at its solidity, or proceed in some other way?
Inquire and tell me, Lenin.
