To the Revolutionary Military Council of the Southern Front for immediate transmission to the Staff of the 9th [Army]

To Beloborodov — Plenipotentiary of the Soviet of Defense or wherever he may be located

I am extremely surprised that in your second telegram as well there is not a word about the progress of the matter entrusted to you [366]. Acceleration is absolutely necessary. Hurry and press everyone. Report in greater detail.
