Editor’s Note
—No official record of the substance of this conversation has been found. Stimson’s diary entry for July 19 contains the following summary: “At twelve o’clock Lord Cherwell called, and he and Bundy and I sat out under the trees and talked over S–l. He was very reasonable on the subject of notification to the Russians, feeling about as doubtful as we. He reported Churchill as being much pleased with our luncheon together last Monday [Tuesday]1 and much cheered by the talk.”
