April 10, 1918
Comrade Bogolepov (Deputy Commissar of Finance)
Comrade Tsyurupa (or Comrade Bryukhanov).
The bearers of this note, representatives of the Pskov Provincial Soviet,
have not yet been able to obtain the food and financial assistance, which is critically and absolutely necessary for them.
The situation in Pskov province (especially due to the German
invasion; about 1/9 of the province is occupied) is desperate. I earnestly
ask you to consider what extraordinary measures could help
them and to call me for negotiations on this matter.
Lenin
