The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Bingham) to the Secretary of State

London, October 17, 1935—3 p.m.
[Received October 17—9:55 a.m.]

522. By appointment Atherton and Anderson called at the Foreign Office today and set forth the points of Department’s 300, October 14, 6 p.m., which the British received with evident satisfaction. A précis of conversation was left, based on the Department’s instruction (copies by pouch tomorrow80) and the British will seek another meeting shortly, after they have studied it, and formulated a précis of conversation for reply.

It was agreed that these précis of conversation would not constitute an “exchange of written official papers or memoranda”.
