To:   THE COUNCIL OF PEOPLE’S COMMISSARS AND THE PEOPLE’S COMMISSARIAT FOR FOOD OF THE TURKMEN REPUBLIC

Having just returned from a trip to your parts, Comrade Badayev told me something of the good reception
given to him by the local comrades and their whole-hearted
sympathy for the cause of the Moscow and Petrograd workers.

Will you kindly convey to all your local comrades my deep gratitude and request to continue giving the most
vigorous and every possible assistance in food supplies to
the workers of the two leading cities.

The situation is difficult. The utmost assistance is required. I am sure that you will do everything you can.

I send you communist greetings.

V. Ulyanov (Lenin )
