London, 4 November 1943.

Personal and secret Winant to The President.

Thanks good message.

Last night I spoke with the Prime Minister….

He told me while we were talking that he had asked you several questions and had only received a reply to a fraction of them. The [Page 65] issue that deeply disturbed him was your suggestion to introduce a Russian military representative in the projected Anglo-American Staff meetings.2 He is absolutely set against it.
