IN CIPHER

Astrakhan
To Mekhonoshin

From the summary of April 23 it is evident that the *Ardagan* and *Kars* passed unhindered from Baku to Guryev. So the Astrakhan people boastfully promise great victories in the future, while at the same time they let the enemy through to Guryev. This is outrageous and even gives grounds for suspecting either treachery or malicious sabotage. We demand of you the strictest control, personal verification, most careful supervision, and absolute vigilance.
