TELEGRAM TO M. K. VLADIMIROV.
Kozlov
To the Extraordinary Military Commissar
Vladimirov
December 31, 1918
I have received a complaint stating that you have requisitioned nine passenger coaches, including one restaurant car, one kitchen car, and two saloon cars. This is deemed excessive, disproportionate, and highly irritating to the workers—indeed, it is seen as an impediment to the smooth operation of the railway itself. How many coaches are allotted to you under the regulations of the NCCI? [1316]
Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars, Lenin.

A. D. Tsyurupe.
Dear Alexander D[mitrievich]! You are becoming utterly impossible when it comes to handling state property.
Order: Three weeks of restorative treatment!
And be sure to heed Lid[iya],
Alexandrovna—who will arrange for your transfer to a sanatorium.
Truly, it is unforgivable to squander one’s fragile health so recklessly.
You must get yourself back on track!
Best regards! Your Lesch.
