To:   N. P. GORBUNOV

The estate is said to comprise about 30 dessiatines of ploughland, and 130 of forest. The Saratov Gubernia
Executive Committee is said to be agreeable. I think this should
be placed before the Narrow Council right away, and an inquiry and on-the-spot study appointed through the
Narrow
Council. [1]
