[November 7, 1921]

Comrade Gorbunov! Please send (this) to Krasin.

Your dispatch of November 1st is almost **hysterical**. You forgot that even you did not propose to concede at once to Leslie Urquhart, and the decision of the Politburo is very well thought out and is not a refusal.

As for the Foundation Company, you were sent full agreement and instructions to hurry on October 29th.
We need to ensure a faster exchange of telegrams between us: the apparatus of Vneshtorg is generally rather poor.
