FROM THE PETROGRAD PROVINCIAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

October 10, 1919

Comrades! Comrade Yunosov told me about your matter. I listened carefully and came to the conclusion that the matter has been decided correctly and in your favor, since the one who spoke thoughtless and profoundly unjust words has been censured.

This is sufficient. By this you are vindicated, he is condemned. I earnestly request and advise that you now set aside all recollection of this matter and consign everything to oblivion.

I am confident that all workers will now move to the front. Denikin is pressing, the danger is serious.

With comradely greetings, Lenin
