The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State

3096. Personal to the President. In a cable to the Prime Minister from Stalin received last week commending the treaty agreement Stalin ended his message by saying that he hoped that the business left unfinished by Molotov before going to the United States would be completed on his return to England. It would help me very much in trying to carry out your wishes if I knew in brief form the position you have taken with Molotov on the “unfinished business” which I presume to mean the question of the second front.
