talk with Mussolini, and felt the astonishing charm
of that man, as well as a vivid impression of force.
I remember, when leaving Mussolini, I wished that I
could invite him out to dinner and sit over a beer
and talk things over with him. I had no such desire
on leaving Hitler. If charm there was it lay in
simplicity and directness of utterance, and a certain
unwillingness, even after my compliment, to assume
for himself the credit for the work which is being
done .
 
 These two weeks have been intensely interesting -
and not the least interesting, in spite of the rather
colorless conversation, was this talk with Hitler.
The very negative nature of my impressions is surprising. 
I know I shall find this work of deep interest.
It may often be unpleasant and difficult. I don't
think it will ever be boring. I am deeply indebted to
you, as I have told you before, for the opportunity
of trying it out.
 
Very respectfully,
 
Hugh R Wilson
