NOTES TO N. P. GORBUNOV

20. IX. 1921

23979 Gorbunov 1!

I gave (apparently through Smolyaninov) 2 a telegram to all
Gubernia Electric Power Departments on the obligatory sending, with the delegates to the All-Russia Electrical Engineering Congress, of statistical data on all electric power stations in Russia.

Be sure to find the copy and, while the Electrical Engineers' Congress is in session, check the fulfilment in an extremely captious and documented manner.

We must secure fulfilment, for the question is of both enormous economic and political importance.

If necessary, circulate a questionnaire among the congress delegates, not letting out those who have not filled it in.

Secure fulfilment and information and check with extreme distrust!
