Comrade Mezhlauk and Comrade Voroshilov
Kharkov
A reply cannot be given before contacting Trotsky, whom Sklyansky is informing by telegraph.
I confirm that reinforcements must be given to the troops of the Southern Front without waiting for uniforms or arms, as our Southern Front will see to that. I have many times pointed out the catastrophic urgency of this matter, but from you I have no exact information on the actual number of reinforcements supplied by you to the Southern Front.
