Comrade Tsyurupa or his deputy

Comrade Tsyurupa,

I am sending to you representatives of the Vyshny Volochok Soviet.

The famine there is appalling. It is urgently necessary to help by every means and to give at least something immediately.

I have already talked with these comrades about forming detachments and on the tasks of the food work, but you, too, should have a talk with them.

Lenin
