TELEGRAM TO V. I. MEZHLAUK AND K. Y. VOROSHILOV

Comrade Mezhlauk and Comrade Voroshilov
Kharkov

A reply cannot be given before contacting Trotsky, whom
Sklyansky is informing by telegraph.

I confirm that reinforcements must be given to the troops of the Southern Front without waiting for uniforms
or arms, as our Southern Front will see to that. I have
many times pointed out the catastrophic urgency of this
matter, but from you I have no exact information on the
actual number of reinforcements supplied by you to the
Southern Front.

Lenin
