The British Prime Minister (Churchill) to President Roosevelt 17
596. Reference is made to your latest message about the Bulgarian peace feelers.
We have had already the same reply through Clark Kerr18 and agree that probably Cairo is the best rendezvous.
The only thing to do now I think is for the Jadwin Mission19 to inform the Minister of Bulgaria that the representatives of the Three Allies are prepared to meet a fully qualified Bulgarian Mission in Cairo. If a Mission is sent by the Bulgarians, we then can listen to what it has to say.
It has already been suggested by the Foreign Office that the Department of State should send the Jadwin Mission the necessary instructions.
