FYN-SI [Stalin]
To No. 483/sh.
In accordance with your order of 29.8.50 I visited KIM IL SUNG and communicated to him the contents of the telegram. KIM IL SUNG listened to my communication and asked permission to write down its contents, which I dictated to him.
KIM IL SUNG received your letter very well, thanking you several times, underscoring that it is a very good letter.
Afterwards he asked my agreement to summon [Foreign Minister] Pak Heon-yeong [Pak Hon Yong] and read him your telegram. After exchanging opinions with Pak Heon-yeong he asked my opinion about whether he can bring it to the notice of the members of the PolitSoviet [Political Council] of the CC, in connection with which he underscored that this is a very important letter and he needs to communicate its contents since some members of the PolitSoviet are in a poor state of mind. It will be useful to them to know the contents of this letter.
I replied that if he considers this necessary then he can do it. KIM IL SUNG replied that he would convene the PolitSoviet tomorrow and read them the contents of this letter.
