In a letter intended to be read, but not handed, to President of the People's Government of Azerbaijan Ja'far Pishevari, Stalin notes the lack of a deep revolutionary crisis in Iran, emphasizing the need to gain concessions from the Qavam government and work with Qavam to combat Anglophile influences in Iran. He argues that the Soviets have not betrayed the Azerbaijani cause, but rather given Pishevari the leverage he needs to demand concessions.

Lozovsky passes on instructions from the Soviet leadership to Soviet Ambassador in Iran Ivan Sadchikov. Among other things, he tells the Ambassador to support Qavam in his struggle against Anglophiles in the Iranian government and to instruct President of the People's Government of Azerbaijan Ja'far Pishevari to do the same.
