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

Dear Mr. Bevin: I received your letter of September 29th with regard to the letter you have received from the King of Greece. I received a letter from the King of Greece also, which is quite similar to the one you described.

I think you will understand that, in view of the pressure the last day or so, I have been unable to give much thought to this subject and I hope you will forgive me if I wait until my return to Washington to send you an answer.

Sincerely yours,

James F. Byrnes
