To the Saratov Soviet Institutions
(Provincial Food Commissariat, Provincial Executive Committee, City Executive Committee, and Others)
April 5, 1919

I fully endorse the request of the People’s Commissariat for Food to extend every possible form of assistance to the Saratov
“Council for the Protection of Starving Children of the Red Capitals.”
On my part, I earnestly urge that every effort be made to aid this “Council for the Protection of Children.”
