The Ambassador to the Soviet Union to the Soviet Commissar for Foreign Affairs
Cairo, 22 November 1943
Secret
The British and ourselves are sending representatives from Cairo to Tehran tomorrow, November 23, to make the physical arrangements for the Conference including the living quarters and security in all details. It would be helpful if you would advise our Commanding General in Tehran, General Connolly, what representative of the Soviet Government he should get in touch with to coordinate our planning with yours. I would be grateful if you would also cable me in Cairo that this has been arranged.
I had a most hospitable welcome and interesting afternoon during our unexpected stop in Stalingrad for which I am very grateful.
I look forward to seeing you. Regards.
