The Chargé in Germany (Kirk) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 26—6:47 p.m.]
926. Weizsaecker called me to the Foreign Office at 7:30 this evening and said that he had been directed by the Fuehrer to inform me at once as a preliminary measure that the two telegrams which the President had sent to Hitler73 had been received and had been submitted by him to the consideration of his Foreign Minister and of his Government. Weizsaecker said that he was making this communication to me as the Fuehrer did not wish there to be any doubt that the messages were in his hands.
Weizsaecker’s only other remark was that the situation was extremely strained but he added that he could not regard it as hopeless.
Repeated to Paris.
