The tardiness shown by you and other executives in the matter of entraining the cavalry is outrageous.
I warn you that the functionaries responsible for military work in Tula are obliged to display the greatest energy and efficiency, which I do not see in practice. Send me at once an explanation of the reasons for the delay. I shall call the culprits to strict account. I demand that the dispatch be expedited to the utmost of your power.
Lenin
Chairman, Council of Defence
