IN CIPHER

To Stalin

How is the fight against the bands going? Is it true that they number over 20,000 bayonets and sabres?

Are the reinforcements assigned to the Caucasian Front sufficient? Do you consider a
peaceful settlement of relations with Georgia and Armenia possible, and on what basis? Also, are the fortification works on the approaches to Baku being carried out with full seriousness? Please also send brief information about Turkey and Persia by telegraph, and more detailed information by letter. 12
