The Acting Secretary of State to the Chairman of the American Delegation (Hull)
175. For Hull [from the President]. Before you sail I want you to know once more of my affectionate regard for and confidence in you. You have admirably faced great difficulties and through your own courage and sincerity saved the principle of continued international discussion of perplexing world problems from a collapse which would have made further deliberations impossible.
When you get to New York next week I shall be at Hyde Park and I much hope that you and Mrs. Hull will come there for the night when you arrive. I will leave it to your discretion as to when I should see others. Perhaps a day or two later would be best. Roosevelt.
