IN CIPHER
TO SMILGA

The divisions which the Commander-in-Chief ordered to be sent to the West must proceed without delay. Personally see to this. Take measures to ensure that the divisions do not dwindle in numbers on the way and that the front does not rob them before their dispatch. If you consider it possible to allocate additional units, raise the matter with the Commander-in-Chief. The Western Front must be given more energetic assistance. Telegraph me your reply in greater detail.
