Management of the Yuzhsk nationalised factory
Vyazniki

Two days ago the Food Commissariat issued an urgent order for grain to be delivered from Nizhni-Novgorod for the Vyazniki distribution centre. I advise going to Nizhni. I authorise you to make a check and urge speed. Complain to me if there is any red tape.^[1]

Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars

Notes

[1] As a result of the measures taken, the Vyazniki workers received six truck-loads of flour, two of which were for the Yuzhsk factory.
