I find everyone here from the Prime Minister down deeply appreciative 
      of the increasing aid that you are giving. It is natural that 
      they hope for a belligerent status but I am surprised how understanding 
      all are of the psychology of the situation at home. It is because 
      of what they went through themselves. There is both greater understanding 
      of and greater frankness about their dependence on us for the 
      final outcome.
 
      
 
 
I have never worked in a more congenial atmosphere than at 
      Grosvenor Square, largely due to Gil's generous personality. 
      I am impressed by the grasp and competence of Admiral Ghormley 
      and General Lee. We are working together as one team. I deeply 
      appreciate the opportunity you have given me to serve here.
 
      
 
 
Best regards to Harry and my other friends,
 
      
 
 
Sincerely,
 
      W.A. Harriman (signed)
 
      
 
 
The President,
 
      The White House.
