I shall speak right away by telephone with the military about all your requests.[1] For the time being I advise appointing your own chiefs and shooting conspirators and waverers without asking anybody and without allowing any idiotic red tape. As regards receiving a reply from me, either wait at the telegraph office, or have people take their turn of duty, or appoint a time in an hour or two.
Reply.

I have just spoken to Aralov. According to what he says, everything is already being done to send you shells. Loading begins today, so in two or three days it should be finished. Act more vigorously against the kulaks.
