Reporting:

14 [July] at 14:30 local time conveyed Stalin's telegram to Mao Zedong. Ren Bishi was translating. Mao Zedong listened with a subtle smile, said: good, good and then asked to convey to you the following text, dictated by him and translated by Ren Bishi:

Com[rade] Stalin.

Agree with your opinion, related in the telegram dated 14 July. Will postpone trip to you to late October-early November.

Mao Zedong.
14 July."

The small conversation, which took place afterwards, will be passed on as a separate issue.
