The Secretary of State to the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs ( Eden )

My Dear Mr. Eden: I have received your letter of February 7 on the question of supplies for liberated areas and have read it with much interest.

In the shortness of time that remains while we are here together I do not feel that I can give this complex and important problem sufficient study to enable me to give you my full comments on your letter. I shall, however, keep the matter closely in mind and immediately upon my return to Washington will give you a full reply.
