Prime Minister Churchill to President Roosevelt 1
Prime Minister to President Roosevelt, personal and Top Secret, Number 884.
Your Number 696.
1. Thank you very much about the Combined Chiefs of Staff’s preliminary meeting.
2. Eden has particularly asked me to suggest that Stettinius might come on 48 hours earlier to Malta with the United States Chiefs of Staff so that he (Eden) can run over the agenda with him beforehand, even though Molotov were not invited. I am sure this would be found very useful. I do not see any other way of realising our hopes about world organisation in five or six days. Even the Almighty took seven. Pray forgive my pertinacity.
