* Written on a telegram from Kh. G. Rakovsky in Kiev to the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, V. I. Lenin, reporting that in Odessa there are not only stocks of oil and manufactured goods, but also a broad opportunity to obtain goods from Turkey for money and from Georgia in exchange for sugar, and that a commission of three people has been created to study concrete proposals. The telegram contained a request to send an experienced person to lead this commission.

While reading the telegram, V. I. Lenin wrote "NB" above the word "oil" and placed a "?" next to the word "goods".
