The note was made on a telegram containing a request to schedule a time for direct wire negotiations.  
On May 29, S. M. Kirov was appointed as the RSFSR plenipotentiary to Menshevik Georgia. Before departing from Moscow, he received directives directly from Lenin. In this instance, Lenin coordinates with the secretary (L. A. Fotieva) regarding the timing of one of the personal discussions with Comrade Kirov.
