I have received Yakovlev’s memorandum.^[1] I approve the plans of preparation and mobilisation. If they advance, offer resistance. I have passed it on to the Commissariat for Military Affairs. We shall try to help by sending money although our difficulties are extremely great.

Please send information more frequently.
