Comrade Kedrov,
You are giving us too little factual information. Send reports with every messenger.
How much fortification work has been done?
Along what line?
At what points on the railway have sappers boon provided, so that in the event of an advance in force by the Anglo-French we can blow up and seriously damage such-and-such a number (how many, there must be a full report, and where precisely) of bridges, versts of the railway, passages through the marshes, etc., etc.
Have you taken sufficient measures to safeguard Vologda against the whiteguard peril? It will be unforgivable if you display weakness or carelessness in this regard.
Greetings!
Lenin
