The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Harriman) to the Secretary of State

Moscow, November 12, 1943—noon.

1925. Secret and personal for the Secretary from the Ambassador.

Reference your 1180 November 9,1 as authorized by the Department I have had my letter of Nov. 10 to Molotov containing the President’s agreement concerning Turkey attached as an annex to the Soviet-British protocol concerning Turkey signed by Molotov and Eden on November 1 in Moscow.2

Since Molotov finally decided that the above arrangement was preferable I did not insist on the protocol and annex being incorporated in the secret military record of the conference.
