TELEGRAM TO G. N. KAMINSKY

The tardiness shown by you and other executives in the matter of entraining the cavalry is outrageous.

I warn you that the functionaries responsible for military work in Tula are obliged to display the greatest energy
and efficiency, which I do not see in practice. Send me at
once an explanation of the reasons for the delay. I shall call the culprits to strict account. I demand that the dispatch
be expedited to the utmost of your power.

Lenin
Chairman, Council of Defence
