I spoke about the Urquhart concession with Bogdanov, and we have reached complete agreement. I have requested from Urquhart his draft contract and am raising the question of obtaining permission for him and his engineers to enter [the country]. Will you be able to return to me by Monday the materials left regarding this matter?

We also need to find and appoint three competent and knowledgeable people from Gosplan to review the draft contract with Urquhart.
