TELEGRAM TO THE YURIEV-POLSKY PROVISIONING COMMISSION
January 14, 1919
I have received a petition from eight workers in the Ivanovo-Kineshemsky district requesting that 19 poods of oats be requisitioned from them. Immediately
investigate the reasons for the requisition. Should the requisition prove to be unjustified,
the oats must be returned without delay, and those responsible must be held accountable.
