I am enclosing herewith a copy of a memorandum which I made after a   
conference with Prime Minister Bonomi on Monday, September 4, at his   
invitation at the Caccia Club in Rome, which you may find of interest.  I   
am sending two additional copies since you may desire one for Secretary   
Hull.  The Prime Minister spoke very frankly with me on the basis that it   
was a confidential conversation. He indicated his desire to have further   
onfidential conversations for repetition to you in the futur
