TO THE REVOLUTIONARY MILITARY COUNCIL OF THE SOUTHERN FRONT

By special messenger*
Kozlov, Revolutionary Military Council of the Southern Front

The All-Russia General Staff** has given me exact information, verified by Kursky, that from May 15 to July, 70,000 sets of equipment were supplied for the Southern Front, and from July 1 to July 7, 22,000. If you have not received them, take urgent special measures and inform me at once whether you still insist on calling up eighteen-year-olds, or whether it would be better to take others for the time being.9
July 8, 1919 Chairman of the Council of Defence, Lenin
