Sklyansky has definitely promised to give ten thousand rifles in the first half of June.

Pay special attention to the Orenburg Cossacks and the Bashkirs, because during the previous offensive we made a blunder, missed the opportunity and failed to use these forces. Mobilise them urgently, send a sensible, calm, knowledgeable, experienced man there, keep the closest watch on this, on the uninterrupted carrying out of the general mobilisation of the entire front zone, and on the collection of rifles from the population.
