The President to the Secretary of State¹

secret
urgent

[Hyde Park?] 30 October 1943.

Personal and secret for the Secretary of State only from the President.

I find I can postpone departure till evening of eleventh or morning of twelfth and I think this is much better than your staying in North Africa all that time. I can probably meet you at your landing port.

I will wire Churchill to postpone everything two days.

I will want Harriman and General Deane and Bohlen to join me in North Africa or Cairo.

Your work has been grand.

Roosevelt
