The Ambassador in the Soviet Union ( Bullitt ) to the Secretary of State

162. Your 141, June 27, 7 p.m. Mr. Frederic Kuh recently visited Moscow and was received twice by me and Mr. Wiley.13 Neither of us discussed with him any matter touching in any way on the preliminary naval conversations or on American policy. It is well known that Kuh for years has been in intimate contact with the Soviet Foreign Office and I suspect that the activities in London attributed to him have been at the behest of Litvinov14 whom he saw on the eve of his departure.

Bullitt
  1. John C. Wiley, Counselor of Embassy.
  2. Maxim Litvinov, Soviet Commissar for Foreign Affairs.
