31. V. 1921
Comrade Smilga!
The question of a possible Moscow firewood crisis in the upcoming winter season is of exceptional importance. This is a question of primary political importance. Moscow cannot receive less fuel in 1921-22 than in 1920-21.
At all costs.
It is necessary 1) to specifically assign responsibility for this to Danishevsky 2;
2) to divide this entire task in detail into its constituent parts,
and to assign each part to a specific person, precisely
designated;
3) to reinforce Moskvatoplivo (Moscow Fuel Trust) with workers (perhaps you will take Goldberg 3? later engage Radchenko 4, etc., even if for a known portion of their time).
4) You personally must undertake repeated special, particular verification, inspection, and tightening up.
