Dear Sir,

I have read your letter of December 20, 1920, with great pleasure. I should like to thank you for offering your knowledge and experience in the field of communications to the R.S.F.S.R.

Without wishing to subject you immediately to the hardships of a complicated journey from America to Moscow, and also wishing to make use of you as an expert who is very necessary to the R.S.F.S.R., I would ask you to apply to Comrade Martens. I shall give him all the information about you before his departure for America, which will take place in the near future.

I would advise you to conduct preliminary negotiations with Comrade Martens and, if an agreement acceptable to both sides is reached, you will be able to proceed to Moscow to conclude matters. 742

With best wishes,

Yours,

From a typewritten copy
