1057. Your 516, November 12. I carried out the instructions in your 455, November 3, exactly as I find you intended and I regret the ambiguity of the last sentence of my 1005, November 3, which has led you to misunderstand it The Swiss and other neutral ministers come to see me and tell of their negotiations with the British Government which I encourage for the information they give. I have not “conferred” in any other sense but have merely tried by talking with these ministers to keep myself promptly advised for your information.
