There are proven red agitators in our troops, most of the people have fled, we are not sure about the remaining ones. We cannot hold the front. Strong enemy detachments are trying to bypass through the villages of Nurmolitsa, Tenguselga and Syandeba to Tuloksa Village and cut off our retreat routes. I am moving the hospital and warehouses to the Finnish side of the border. We are forced to abandon our positions.
