TO THE REVOLUTIONARY MILITARY COUNCIL OF THE LABOUR ARMY

February 10, 1920

Ekaterinburg
Revolutionary Military Council of the Labour Army
I am submitting your inquiries to the Council of Defence. Trotsky has left to join you. I personally fear that you are lapsing into fantasy, and the opposition of Bumazhny and Maximov into departmental game-playing. I advise you not to engage in squabbling, but to throw all your efforts into the main tasks, namely: 1) restoration of railway transport, 2) collection and delivery of food supplies, 3) collection of firewood, timber, and barges at the wharves. Inform me whether you can carry on this work harmoniously, energetically, and quickly. 137

Chairman, Council of Defence, Lenin
