[Washington,] 25 October 1943.

Number 396, Personal and secret, from the President for the Former Naval Person.

It is a nuisenza to have the influenza. McIntire says I need a sea voyage.

No word from U. J. yet.

If he is adamant, what would you think of you and me meeting, with small staffs, in North Africa or even at the Pyramids, and toward the close of our talks get the Generalissimo to join us for two or three days? At the same time, we could ask U. J. to send Molotov to the meeting with you and me. Our people propose November 20.

Roosevelt
