5/VII. 1919
Comrade Sklyansky,
Petrograders say the city has a lot of
(1) shells,
(2) guns on old ships (could do with thorn for the Volga!),
(3) field guns, up to 300.
Very strict measures must be taken urgently and a report made to the Council of Defence on maximum speeding up of shipments chiefly by water (it’s a crime that there have been no shipments till now. We would have saved Tsaritsyn).
Greetings,
Lenin
