Comrade Sklyansky,

Petrograders say the city has a lot of 

(1) shells, 

(2) guns on old ships (could do with thorn for the Volga!), 

(3) field guns, up to 300.

Very strict measures must be taken urgently and a report made to the Council of Defence on maximum speeding up of shipments chiefly by water (it’s a crime that there have been no shipments till now. We would have saved Tsaritsyn).

Greetings,
Lenin
