Comrade Alsky:
I asked you for data only from August.[1] Henceforth:
1) keep a special record of expenditures and issues from the gold stock in a strictly chronological order (of course, apart from the grouping by People’s Commissariats or under specified heads, where such are required);
2) be sure to set apart the expenditure out of the gross amount appropriated by a general decision (say, the appropriations of 100 million for foodstuffs) from the additional spending not provided for by any general decisions.
Unless you observe these rules you will not have a report but chaos in which you yourself will be snarled up. Before issuing any further instructions, I shall await your reply which you are to give me tomorrow.
