TELEGRAM TO THE CHIEF OF SUPPLY OF THE SOUTHERN FRONT
August 8, 1919

During July a considerable quantity of clothing and footwear was sent to you. Despite this, in all the armies of the Southern Front some units are without boots and clothing.

I order you, on pain of the strictest personal responsibility, to take resolute measures for the immediate distribution of what has been received among the units that need it.

Chairman of the Council of Defence, Lenin
