I received your message on December 16. It did not indicate the aims of the conferences to be called in Chungking and Moscow and as they were to open overnight I saw fit when I met Mr Eden, who had just arrived in Moscow,
to ask him
what those aims were and whether the two conferences could be put off for a while. It appeared, however, that Mr Eden was not posted either. I should like, therefore, to have the appropriate elucidations from you in order to ensure the results expected from Soviet participation. Thank you for the sentiments expressed over the Soviet armies' successes. I wish you success in the struggle against the aggression in the Pacific. Personal warm regards to you and Mr Hopkins.
