December 21, 1918.
To the VChK
Comrade Dzerzhinsky!
I am attaching a complaint.
I earnestly request that you unfailingly locate the culprit responsible for the red tape (from December 3rd to December 20th without a reply!! And the decree about the 21st of November!!!) and bring them to trial. Such outrage cannot be left unpunished.
Evidently, there are saboteurs in the office.
Furthermore, you must appoint a responsible person for the swift, immediate transfer of warehouses.
Report what has been done.
Greetings!
Your Lenin
