[Received 2:05 p.m.]
555. For the President from Polish Prime Minister.
“On leaving here for Moscow, I consider it my duty to inform you personally that I agreed to undertake this trip on Prime Minister Churchill’s initiative after he had informed Marshal Stalin.
In spite of grave difficulties created for the Polish Government by recent actions on the part of the Soviet Government,531 attach nevertheless the utmost importance to my personal contact with Marshal Stalin. I shall endeavor to prove once more at this last moment my Government’s entire good will in order to bring about not only the establishment of Soviet-Polish relations on a new and firm basis but also a clarification of political atmosphere between the Allies in this decisive stage of the war.
Remembering with everlasting gratitude the friendly welcome you generously accorded me, I trust that you Mr. President and the United States Government will lend your further friendly assistance and support at this moment, all important for Poland.
On this occasion, Mr. President, I convey to you my highest and most friendly regards.” Signed Stanislaw Mikolajczyk.
