TELEPHONE MESSAGE TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MOSCOW GUBERNIA COMMUNE

Copy to the Presidium of the Moscow Soviet
” to the People’s Commissariat of Education

Comrade Smolyaninov has informed me that a workers’ and peasants’ delegation from Stavropol Gubernia has
delivered to Moscow, addressed to me, a railway wagon of
food for the hungry workers, as a gift. Please, in the first
place, take over this wagon as rapidly as possible, without
any red tape; secondly, dispatch it to the most needy
Moscow workers, notifying them without fail that this is a present from the Stavropol workers and peasants;
thirdly, see to it that the delegation is looked after,
both in the sense of its being put up properly and of its
receiving thanks from the Moscow Soviet, and, finally, that they are supplied with literature and given the
opportunity of seeing the institutions in Moscow which interest
them.

Please report fulfilment to me, immediately and precisely.

Lenin
