[Received August 2—5 p.m.]
3384. Your 2857, July 30, 1 p.m. and 2849, July 29, 11 [10] p.m. Note as directed was handed personally to Foreign Minister of the Provisional Government of Czechoslovakia yesterday together with aide-mémoire. Masaryk was out of town the day previous when your message was received. He expressed his deep appreciation both officially and personally for the action which our Government had taken.
I told the Prime Minister of action we were taking and advised him of the contents of the aide-mémoire as requested in your 2849. He said that he was very “happy” at our action and pleased that we had made the reservations set forth in the aide-mémoire.
