NOTES ON UNUTILIZED RICHES
KARABUGAZ CARAVAN OF GAS.
To the Editors of Izvestia and Pravda, and to Comrade Ipatiev1.
[August 17, 1921]

In the newspapers Izvestia and Pravda there was recently a note regarding the unutilized riches of Karabugaz9. If possible, I would ask to forward to the author, or inform him through the newspaper, that it is very important for me to have detailed information, both on how technically prepared the author is for this question, and on how long he studied the question on the spot.
