The President’s special assistant to the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and reply
Cairo, December 5 (?), 1943
Anthony Has he been told squadrons do not go in until Feb 15? Is there good reason not to tell him
HARRY
Yes; he has been told. Winston gave him a paper this afternoon. He understands, but issue is he won’t agree to flying in until his army is ready. This looks like a long job.

Anthony: It looks like BUCCANEER is out & our military plans hence will be agreed to tomorrow
HARRY
If so, you have been very generous, but our chances next year will surely benefit.
President has been grand about it all.
Note reinforcements (Scotch) just came in!
