August 29, 1918

Comrade Muralov, Please give your assistance to the bearer, Comrade
Malyshev, who is organising supplies of explosives for the
group going to Kotlas. The matter is supremely urgent.

It is necessary that explosives should be got without loss of time from Vyazma (Malyshev will leave for Vyazma
this very day , with a warrant from you).

You must also send a telegram to Kursk summoning
Comrade Sobolev , a demolition instructor.

The demolition group require one carriage (fast) to
Kotlas.

Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
