Dear Comrades,

From your account I agree with you, but if you want to use my opinion against your “opposition,” then give it both your letter to me and my reply. 359

Then they will be informed, will be able to give me their account, and then I shall
be informed not one-sidedly.

On the substance of the matter I will express myself briefly. Until Wrangel is finally beaten, until the whole of the Crimea is taken, military tasks are in the forefront. This is absolutely indisputable.

Then, for Tula, in view of its rifle and cartridge factories, it may very well be that for a certain time, even after the victory over Wrangel, the tasks of completing the work of producing rifles and cartridges will remain of first-rate importance, for the army must be prepared for the spring.

I apologise for my brevity and ask you to inform me whether you have shown the “opposition” this letter of mine and your letter to me.

With Communist greetings, Lenin
