Comrade Rattel,

The bearer, Comrade Yevgenia Bogdanovna Bosh, is a member of the Council of Defence of the Lithuanian– Byelorussian Republic.

Rifles and other arms are needed, also military instructors for organising workers’ battalions in Minsk.

It is said that the matter is being hindered by red tape and so on.
