Chairman Mao [Zedong]:^[1]

Yesterday evening Comrade Stalin held a banquet for Comrades Kim [Il Sung], Pak [Heon-yeong; also spelled Pak Hon Yong], and Peng [Dehuai]. I was also invited. Comrade Chen Yun did not go due to a cold. [I] will report the situation of the talks in a separate cable. Comrades Kim, Pak, and Peng, along with six others (the spouses of Kim’s advisers will go) are scheduled to take off [from Moscow] at 5 a.m. on the 14^th [of September], and should arrive in Beijing on the 16^th.
