Marshal Stalin to President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill1

Translation

Personal and secret message from Premier I. V. Stalin to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill I have received your messages of September 10th.2

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

3. As to the meeting of the heads of the three Governments, I do not have any objections regarding Tegeran [Tehran] as the place of the meeting, which (Tegeran) is more appropriate than Egypt where the Soviet Union does not have its representation.

September 12, 1943.

  1. Apparently sent via the Soviet Embassy, Washington. The entire document is printed in Stalin’s Correspondence, vol. ii, p. 93.
  2. Roosevelt’s message referred to here is presumably the one sent from Washington September 9, 1943, ante, p. 24. Churchill’s is that of September 10, 1943, printed in Churchill, p. 281.
