The Under Secretary of State (Welles) to the Chief of Staff, United States Army (Marshall)
Washington
, November 17,
1942.
My Dear General Marshall: I am entirely in accord with the suggestions contained in the last paragraph of your letter to me of November 16. I shall consequently be grateful if you will convey to General Eisenhower the sense of the desires of the President and if you will be kind enough to let us know here in the Department of State when a reply is received.
Believe me
Yours very sincerely,
Sumner Welles
