[Between July 3 and 13, 1920]

Vladimir Ilyich, I am sending you absolutely accurate information, verified on the spot by our people, regarding the goods lying on the wharves, designated for shipment abroad. All goods are packed and in 2 weeks will go to the mouth of the Ob River.
We have done our part, I fear that the value of these goods will exceed by 2—3 times what will be brought to us from Sweden.
Press the People's Commissariat of Foreign Trade (Vneshtorg) so that it can utilize this surplus of goods.
Smirnov
