Description
General Patrick Hurley sent President Roosevelt a second telegram from Tehran on 26 November 1943, following his wire of earlier that day about the Soviet invitation. He had since toured the offered quarters with General Connolly, Secret Service agent Rowley, and Soviet security officers.
The suite sits inside the Russian Embassy compound, in the building Reilly had inspected. It holds six rooms to the left of the entrance, a large reception room, bedrooms, and a dining room. A kitchen below serves the President's staff. It is steam heated, has a private entrance, and stands on the same floor as, and adjoining, the large conference room. Only bathtubs and toilets, removed earlier, need putting back. Hurley judges the quarters far better than the American legation for convenience, communications, and security, while repeating that he told the Russians the legation decision was definite.
