      Secretary of State,
 
      Washington.
 
      
 
 
London
 
      Dated September 3, 1938
 
      Rec'd 8:25 a.m.
 
      860, September 3, 11 a.m.
 
      FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE.
 
      
 
 
Replying to your 492, regarding special telegraphic interview 
      with BOSTON EVENING AMERICAN.
 
      
 
 
The only conversation they had with me was to the effect that 
      people were very excited over there and I told them to keep cool. 
      They asked me if I had any message for my father-in-law and I 
      told them no and I told them my children were leaving for Scotland 
      and Ireland on a trip.
 
      
 
 
I manage to get along reasonably well with the agencies and 
      have not heard any complaints and it is my custom to answer any 
      telephone call that comes from Boston because that is where my 
      family is.
 
      
 
 
I am sorry if everybody was disturbed.
 
      ALC KENNEDY
