- This telegram was based upon information supplied by Harry Hopkins on October 15, 1941. It was delayed in being sent because Ambassador Steinhardt was on his way to Kuibyshev, after evacuation from Moscow, between October 15 and 20. For correspondence concerning the removal of the Embassy from Moscow, see pp. 907–911.↩
