Kharkov
To Mezhlauk, Deputy People’s Commissar for Military Affairs

Inform me regularly twice a week in cipher of what you are doing to liberate the Donets Basin. I fear that your energy is already flagging, yet it is absolutely necessary to strain every effort in Kharkov to finish the job quickly and decisively.

Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
