Podvoisky

Why have you not sent from Kursk 4 regiments + Asarkh’s regiment (?)

+ Sluvis’s division?

Delay is disastrous for us on the Czechoslovak front, and you are late [1]

Notes

[1] In reply to Lenin’s inquiry, Podvoisky, a member of the Supreme Military Council, reported that the units which were to be sent from Kursk to the Eastern Front were still being raised and that a brigade of three regiments with three batteries would be entrained on July 23.
