The Secretary of State to President Hoover

Dear Mr. President: I am sending you herewith a stenographic record of my talk yesterday with Norman Davis,31 which I summarized to you at Cabinet Meeting. It is so interesting that I thought you would like to read it in full. As you will see, there is still a possibility of something unpleasant coming out either in the House of Commons or in Simon’s speech; but in general what was a very awkward matter is smoothing down into pretty good shape.

Faithfully yours,

Henry L. Stimson
