Lo proveeré de un niño y ácido prúsico

Hola a todos,

One of the subchapters in the book Tinta Invisible by Javier Peña is called "Lo proveeré de un niño y ácido prúsico"

Cuando Margaret Radclyffe Hall publicó El pozo de la soledad, un crítico aseguró que preferiría darle a un joven saludable un vial de ácido prúsico antes que la novela. El veneno mata el cuerpo, dijo, pero el veneno moral mata el alma.

Aldous Huxley respondió al comentario con ingenio: Me he ofrecido a proveer a este crítico de un niño, una botella de ácido prúsico y una copia de El pozo de la soledad. Y si mantiene su promesa, de una hermosa placa de mármol para después de su ejecución. Lamento decir, añadió Huxley, que ha declinado mi oferta.

I'm a bit unsure as to what "Lo" means in "Lo proveeré." If the phrase in question means I'll provide him with... shouldn't it be "Le proveeré..."?

Thank you.
