Cable, Stalin to Mao Zedong
Com[rade] Mao Zedong!
Received your telegram dated 21 November.
Your decision to postpone for some time your trip to us in connection with the circumstances which have materialized at the fronts of military actions appears, evidently, to be correct.
When the circumstances allow you to implement your intensions with regard to the trip to Moscow, [I] request that you, ahead of time, some days before that, inform us as to the date and the place where we should direct our planes for you.
Wishing you a rapid and full recovery.
Stalin
22 November 1948
