[London,] August 3, 1945.

Dear Hawkins, After you left me yesterday I … addressed a telegram to our Chargé d’Affaires in Warsaw¹ in the terms of the enclosed. …²

You will notice that I adopted your suggestion that we should mention an actual date in our communication. I was all the more inclined to do this when I heard from Weston that the Soviet Delegation at Terminal had definitely favoured quick progress in this field.

Yours sincerely,

Nigel Ronald
