Roosevelt Papers
Marshal Stalin to President Roosevelt 1
From: Marshal Stalin
To: The President
Your message of October 5th2 somewhat puzzled me. I supposed that Mr. Churchill was going to Moscow in accordance with the agreement reached with you at Quebec. It happened, however, that this supposition of mine does not seem to correspond in reality.
It is unknown to me with what questions Mr. Churchill and Mr. Eden are going to Moscow. So far I have not been informed about this by either one. Mr. Churchill, in his message to me,3 expressed a desire to come to Moscow, if there would not be any objections on my part. I, of course, gave my consent. Such is the matter in connection with Mr. Churchill’s trip to Moscow. In the future I will keep you informed about the matter, after the meeting with Mr. Churchill.
