NOTE TO TSURUPA
To Comrade Tsurupa or his Deputy.
Comrade Tsurupa! I am sending you representatives of the Vyshny Volochok Soviet of Deputies.

There is agonizing famine there. It is necessary to urgently help with all measures and give at least something immediately.

I have already spoken with these comrades about the formation of detachments and about the tasks of food work, but it is necessary that you also explain things to them.

Lenin.
