YELETS UYEZD

September 17, 1918

To All Volost Committees of the Poor of Yelets Uyezd
Circular

I have received your telegrams. 181

It is impossible to confine ourselves to general and vague expressions, which too often cover up a complete lack of success in the work. Weekly exact figures are necessary: first, which volosts have collected what exact part of the grain surpluses and how much they have delivered; second, how many poods of grain have been delivered, and at which elevators and granaries.

Without such data, everything else is empty verbiage. Reply more precisely.

Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars,
Lenin
