The Assistant Secretary of State (Berle) to the Counselor of the British Embassy (Wright)
My Dear Mr. Wright: Thank you for your letter of May 6, 1944 enclosing copy of a telegram from Lord Beaverbrook. Will you be kind enough to telegraph him as follows:
“I appreciate your kindness in telegraphing texts of proposed statement on May 10. Both the repetition of your statement concerning airfields and your quite accurate paragraph regarding the supply of transport aircraft after the war will, I think, be very useful.
“The Soviet representatives not yet having turned up, we are beginning conversations with the Chinese tomorrow, and will begin other conversations as rapidly as may be.
“Does the subject of telecommunications fall within your field? Berle.”
Very truly yours,
