Vatican
City, September 1, 1944.
This message is urgent and strictly confidential for the President and the Secretary.
It is extremely important before your reported conference with the Prime Minister that you have a frank talk with General O’Dwyer regarding Italy, its relief needs, and plans to meet the situation. To accomplish this will you request Secretary Hull or Leo Crowley to telegraph O’Dwyer personally to report to Washington for consultation without delay.
