1241. Following from Helsingfors from Bullitt:
“Soviet Government has given explicit orders of which I have a copy for the immediate release of Tredwell by the local Soviet of Tashkent. Due to the breaking in telegraphic communication between Moscow and Turkestan Soviet Government had not received notification of the carrying out of these orders when I left. Unless Tredwell prefers to go to Persia he will be sent to Moscow and thence home via Friedland [Finland ?].”
