To Trotsky
I think an agreement with Estonia against Yudenich is impossible, for even if it wanted to, it is powerless to do anything. Moreover, Yudenich's base is probably not in Estonia, but outside it, on the seashore under the cover of the English fleet. We have sent you many troops, the whole thing depends on the speed of the offensive against Yudenich and on surrounding him.

Exert every effort to speed things up. The huge uprising in Denikin's rear in the Caucasus 56, and our successes in Siberia allow us to hope for complete victory if we frantically accelerate the liquidation of Yudenich.
