The Commander-in-Chief wires rejection of the request for dispatch of a brigade over and above the railway regiment and 2 regiments of the 6th Army, of which one is already en route. I think this is correct, because there is nowhere to take them from, and extremely fierce fighting is still in progress in the south near Orel.

It is proposed to give you 600 men from the Soviet School.[1]
