Comrade Stalin, Gusev is leaving in an hour and a half; I just spoke with him over the phone about everything that needs to be discussed. In half an hour, he will be at Krassikov’s apartment, where he will be awaiting your telegram. I have now reviewed the draft circular issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Turkestan and fully agree with it. It would be best to approve it today and have Gusev take copy No. 194 with him.
