Grafpen," ordering him to go to "Seattle in the State of Washington," conferring on him a "mandate" respecting "illegal work," and continuing: "Between the 15th and 26th of March [1930] you will have to call in Seattle a reunion of all our general representatives, which must receive instructions, literature for organization of the First of May outbreaks from you and sums of money from Comrade Sversky, who continues to be in charge of the financial department...
