Trotsky

I am very glad about the energetic measures for suppressing the revolt and particularly about the assignment of the 33rd Division for this purpose. In my opinion, the utmost should be done to make use of the feeling against Grigoriev for maximum and speediest pressure on the Donets Basin. Unless we capture Rostov soon we shall not be able to bear the remaining burdens.
