To the Narrow Council[edit source]

Comrade Goikhbarg:

Read this letter from the representative of Soviet Georgia, especially what is underscored (p. 3).

It is necessary immediately

1) to put through an injunction on sending (without the permission of the Narrow Council), and to give permission with the utmost circumspection,[1]

2) to make regular check-ups on execution.
