TELEGRAM TO GENERAL HEADQUARTERS OF THE SUPREME COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF [1]

Notify all army commissars and Bonch-Bruyevich that all telegrams signed by Trotsky and Krylenko on
demobilisation of the army are to be held up. We cannot give you
the peace terms, since peace really has not yet been concluded. Please hold up all telegrams reporting peace until
you receive special permission.
