http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122380647

Manuscripts and typescripts of a press release and messages relating to it, prepared for radio transmission from the ship. The first two items are collectively marked "White Twenty-Two, in three parts" (the parts are all marked in the second item). The first is a letter (1 p.) in the hand of Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles and initialed by Roosevelt, to Secretary Cordell Hull, directing the ambassador to the Soviet Union to arrange with the British ambassador to present a message together to Stalin, and directing Hull to present it to the papers. The second is the carbon typescript of the message (2 p.) headed "Confidential message to be sent to Stalin by Roosevelt and Churchill", signed by Roosevelt for both, with corrections in his hand. It concerns impending shipments of supplies and the need to make long-range plans, and suggests a high-level meeting in Moscow. The third item is a one-page typescript headed "White Twenty-three in three parts part one for Steve Early" advising Roosevelt's secretary that he will be receiving a statement to be read to the secretary of state and released to the press the next morning. The statement itself is the fourth item: a carbon typescript (5 p.) with typewritten additions headed "For delivery to press and radio at 0900 EST on Thursday August 14". It states that Roosevelt and Churchill have met to discuss supplies and that further talks are planned to include the topic of Soviet cooperation. It also presents a joint declaration of common principles for the conduct of the war and the design of a postwar world of just, prosperous, and lasting peace. Other persons named in the documents are Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Stafford Cripps, and Laurence A. Steinhardt.
