I am very much afraid that we are underestimating the “Penza” danger—both the food danger and the general political danger—and that we shall not be able actually to send “agitators”.

Would it not be advisable to take urgent measures to get a good (from Petrograd, etc.) food detachment and move it immediately, impressing upon it the tasks: for the first weeks be agitators.

TO TSYURUPA
In my opinion it is absolutely essential—for you to get in touch

1) with Petrograd,

2) with Sverdlov
about sending to Penza and Penza Gubernia about 50 men (agitators) from among the Petrograd and Moscow workers.
