Can you guys translate it please? It's really important

Molte Grazie!

First of all, this letter deals with German coal (уголь)

Dear* Mr. President

I have received your Memorandum of July 27 and a copy of your directive to general Eisenhower.

The important question about using German coal to satisfy European needs, raised by you in your Memorandum, will be duly studied. The Government of United States will be informed about the viewpont of the Soviet Government on this issue.

At the same time, I must state that we have to avoid disorders that can be caused by measures undertaken in order to export German coal, which is mentioned in your directive to general Eisenhower—and I think this is quite possible and necessary for the interess of the Allies.


I. Stalin.

To Mr. Harry. S. Truman,
The President of United States
of America.

Berlin

I know 'беспорядкам' is plural, but 'disorders' doesn't work in English here. 'Disorder' would be better, I think, although my dictionary gives 'disturbances' or 'riots' for the plural.
