Dear Joe:-
 
      As you know, we were all greatly disturbed by the appearance 
      of an "exclusive" message of advice from you which 
      was published as having been given to the Boston American and 
      then passed on to the other Hearst papers.
 
      
 
 
I know that the Secretary wired you about it and the other 
      day I saw what you sent to the Secretary. It is not a question 
      of "getting along reasonably well with the agencies" 
      --for, of course, you do that but it does involve the use by 
      an American newspaper or single news agency of a "special 
      interview' or special message of advice to people back here.
 
      
 
 
I know you will understand.
 
      As ever yours,
 
      Honorable Joseph P. Kennedy,
 
      American Embassy,
 
      London,
 
      England.
