To:   THE MEMBERS OF THE PROVISIONAL BERLIN COMMISSION FOR THE ISSUE OF FOREIGN ORDERS FOR GIDROTORF [1]

I request that this should be done with special thoroughness, so as to have everything ready in Berlin by 1.II.1922,
and delivered in Moscow without fail by 1.III.1922. The
reports should be brief, but regular, once a month. The
commission should be responsible for the technical verification. Prizes will be awarded, if necessary. See that the opportunity is not missed again, as it has been repeatedly in this matter.

Notes:
[1]
This letter is written at the bottom of “Instructions to the
Provisional Berlin Commission for the Issue of Foreign Orders for
Gidrotorf” in the text of which Lenin made a number of markings
(see Lenin Miscellany XXIII , p. 92).

R. E. Klasson’s report, addressed to Lenin on February 11,
1922, shows that these orders of the Administration for Hydraulic
Peat Extraction (Gidrotorf) were fulfilled in time.
