President Roosevelt to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek 86

[Washington,] 30 October 1943.

No. 3734. I have not heard definitely from Marshal Stalin but there is still a chance of Churchill and me meeting him near Persian Gulf.

Very confidentially, I hope you will make arrangements to meet with Churchill and me in general neighborhood of Cairo about November 26th.

I am delighted that such excellent progress is made for four power proposal. We have cracked the ice, and I think that you and I have successfully established the principle.

Best regards

Roosevelt
