August 26, 1920
Despite the categorical order of the Center signed by the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars to your Provincial Food Committee, the fulfillment of the seed order to the bases is almost nonexistent. Such disregard by the Provincial Food Committee of the orders of the Center is criminal. I insist on the most urgent fulfillment of the order, I ask you to order the Provincial Food Committee under the strictest liability to urgently ship all seed rye. Report fulfillment by telegraph.
Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars
