       The President to General Marshall. Delighted 
your messages to Mcharney. All quiet here. Here I am
telling McNarney to continue all preparations.
 
Please put Hopkins to bed and keep him there
under 24 hours guard by Army or Marine Corps. Ask
the king for additional assistance if required on this job.
