consulted, and to a certain degree their hand was
 
forced, tf, r. Eden's memorandum is therefore past 
 
history, but i thought it would be of interest to 
 
the Department of State, and possibly to you, to
 
have it as a part of the record, together with an
 
account of oral explanations given by the Foreign
 
Office. I am therefore enclosing a copy of my
 
despatch No. 1013 of July 24 to the Department,
 
together with a copy of the Foreign Office memoran-
 
dum.
 
          Respectfully yours,
 
          John S. Winant
 
Enclosure:
 
 
As stated.
