740.0011 European War 1939/4193: Telegram
The Consul General at Beirut (Palmer) to the Secretary of State
[Received 10:48 a.m.]
39. With reference to the Department’s telegram of June 24, 1 p.m. It is assumed that the Department now has my telegram of June 23, 2 p.m., which was despatched from Beirut at 5 p.m. via Imperial and Western Union. Confidence therein reported has been shaken by lack of confirmation of the unity that was then anticipated but determination and hopefulness still predominate. My telegram dated June 26, 8 a.m.,7 with further information and comment is being despatched by cable.
