"DEAR comrade STALIN, I.V.
We are deeply touched by your attention.
We bring to you, our dear teacher, gratitude for the warm sympathy and advice. In the decisive period of the struggle of the Korean people we have received great moral support from you. We have firmly resolved to win the final victory in the struggle against the American interventionists, who are trying anew to enslave Korea.
In the noble struggle for independence and freedom we constantly feel your fatherly care and assistance.
We wish you many years of life and health.
Yours faithfully,
KIM IL SUNG
