Your latest directive 4774 op/1052/sh unnecessarily overturns the established grouping of forces in the area of these armies, which have already gone over to the offensive. This directive should have been given either three days ago, when the Cavalry Army was in reserve, or later, after the Cavalry Army had taken the Lvov area. At the present time it only confuses the matter and will inevitably cause a needless and harmful delay in operations for the purpose of a new regrouping. In view of this, I refuse to sign the corresponding order of the South-Western Front in furtherance of your directive.
