The British Prime Minister (Attlee) to President Truman 44

top secret
London, 15 August 1946.

Personal and Top Secret. Thank you for your personal message of August 13th [12th]. I have now received from the Foreign Secretary in Paris a copy of the message sent by the State Department to Mr. Byrnes and Mr. Harriman. We are discussing these proposals and it will probably take a few days before we can give our views on them.
