To:   L. D. TROTSKY [1]

Comrade Trotsky, Return this to me, please, after writing your opinion.

I think it is an absolute scandal that Vatsetis assigned
the three regiments to Narva. Cancel it!!

Notes:
[1]
Lenin’s instruction to Trotsky was written on the text of a report
from Stalin and Dzerzhinsky giving the reasons for the fall of
Perm. The report stated that the three regiments intended as
reinforcements for the 3rd Army had been reassigned to
Narva.
