The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France (Bullitt)
590. Following telegram is for Mr. Davis. If he is still in Brussels, please repeat to him.
Personal for Norman Davis. Your 54, November 25, 4 p.m. from Brussels. I am distressed to hear of Mrs. Davis’ ill health.
I think your answer to MacDonald was wise and that the press speculation aroused by your visit and consultation with Chamberlain and Eden would be harmful here and to you personally. I, therefore, concur in your judgment against going to London.
On the other hand, I believe that Hornbeck could usefully make the trip, especially if he answers inquiries by stating that he is visiting London for personal reasons on his way home.
