The Acting Secretary of State to the American Delegate (Hull)
42. Your 18, July 27, 2 p.m. My heartiest and most sincere congratulations to you. I fully appreciate the difficulties you have had to face and I consider your success an outstanding achievement of the utmost importance to this country at the present time.
The press which in general was pessimistic and skeptical yesterday, is exceedingly favorable once more today, and I think that when the details are made public, there will be an expression of tremendous gratification on the part of public opinion here.
The President asked me last night to tell you how tremendously pleased he was with the successful conclusion of your conferences.
