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

2836. For the President and the Secretary. I saw Mikolajczyk last-evening at the British Embassy. He was well satisfied with what he described as Molotov’s friendly reception. The principal matters discussed were the meeting with Stalin which should take place Thursday or Friday59 and a meeting with the Poles. Mikolajczyk is ready to see the Poles but they are at present at Chelm and will not return for several days.

The British Ambassador and I found Mikolajczyk and Romer in a better frame of mind and more hopeful.
