TELEGRAM TO THE UKRAINIAN COUNCIL OF PEOPLE’S COMMISSARS
Kiev
June 11, 1919

On June 3 I sent the following telegram to Shlikhter: “I earnestly request you not to hold up the consignments for the Byelorussian-Lithuanian Army and, in general, for the People’s Commissariat for Food Supplies, Minsk, and to forward them to their destination in Minsk. Expedite them in every way. Next, aid to Petrograd must be increased. I earnestly request you to wire me twice a week about the actual fulfilment of both assignments. Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars, Lenin.”

I request: 1) that the reasons for this telegram not having been received be investigated and the guilty persons be brought to trial; 2) that urgent measures to help Petrograd with food supplies and to collect what has been promised be discussed with the utmost speed, and that a comrade responsible for carrying this out be appointed in every volost. I await a reply.
