TELEGRAM TO M. P. TOMSKY*.
Tashkent, to Tomsky, Chairman of the Turkestan Commission of the All-Russia Central Executive Committee.
September 19, 1921
Your [telegram Л1] 1443/с*. I consider the deals you have made to purchase rams unprofitable, prices are significantly inflated. You will be unable to pay for the contracted quantity of rams either with goods or with banknotes, which makes the deals you have made unrealistic. I propose ceasing further purchase of livestock.
