Peterson
Latvian Commissar for Military Affairs

Report immediately:

1) Have you already sent the mobilised men to join the reserve battalion of the Lettish division? How many have been sent? Was the mobilisation carried out with sufficient vigour?

2) Have you fulfilled the task of sending reinforcements to the Lettish regiment, to the 7th Army? Both tasks brook no delay.
