Hopkins Papers: Telegram

The Chargé in the United Kingdom (Matthews) to the Secretary of State 1

urgent
London, April 1, 1943.

2326. Embassy has received for transmission the following message from the Prime Minister to Mr. Harry Hopkins:

  • “1. Many thanks for yours of thirtieth.2 I look for good and speedy results in Tunisia. I do trust you will give careful consideration to my proposal for a meeting. There are so many things that I want to talk over with you.
  • “2. I am much concerned at not hearing from you about Tube Alloys . That we should work separately would be a sombre decision.”3
