Comrade Kozmín!

Yesterday I was waiting for you in order to discuss the matter of the delegates from the 2nd Steel-Smelting Works at the Kamenská station. They are requesting that financing be discontinued and the commission, which they consider reactionary and parasitic, be removed. If we do not see each other this evening, please telephone me.20
