TELEGRAM TO M. P. TOMSKY*.
Tashkent, to Tomsky of the VTsIK's Turkestan Commission.
September 19, 1921
Your [telegram L1] 1443/s*. I consider the deals you concluded for the purchase of rams disadvantageous, the prices are significantly inflated. You will not be able to pay for the agreed number of rams either with goods or with money, which makes the deals you concluded unrealistic. I propose stopping further purchases of livestock. [01157]
