                     In the evening I had for dinner and for a conference 
Admiral Stark, Genera Marshall, Admiral King, General Arnold,
Major General Burns, Admiral Taylor., Commander Sherman and
Colone1 Bundy, in order to discuss many matters prior to our 
conference with the British.
 
On Friday, August 8th, my boy Elliott fleer down
from Ganda Lake and was also detailed to me as Presidential
Aide. He did not know until the previous evening that I was                                                   .
in Newfoundland waters and was almost as much surprised as
Franklin, Jr.
 
                    At four in the afternoon Sumner Welles, the Under
Secretary of State, and Averell Harriman, recently back from 
London, arrived by plane from Washington. They dined with me 
but were quartered on the "Arkansas". It should be noted that
every night of the whole trip, either when we were at sea or
in Argentia harbor, we "darkened ship" after sun-down, and although 
there were twenty-eight warships in Argentia harbor, 
this was carried out so effectively that not a single light 
could be seen on any ship..
