The offensive against Petrograd increases tenfold the danger and the extreme necessity of suppressing the revolt immediately, at all costs. Telegraph how matters stand—whether the division that has landed has at last begun to operate, whether the Voronezh and Tambov Communists sent to you have arrived, whether further reinforcements are needed and of what kind—in greater detail and more frequently. Procrastination is extremely dangerous.
