To:   COMRADE N. P. GORBUNOV

Despite my letter, [1]

I have yet to receive a report on the expedition to clarify the Bidder concession. Get such
a report from a representative of the commission which has been there by tomorrow, but under no circumstances
should it be longer than two pages.

I fear that, as usual, the report will run to a whole tome,
which no one will read.

Make formal contact with the chairman of the commission and Krzhizhanovsky, who had given me a host of
unfulfilled promises. [2]
