5704 November 23, 1948 Personal and Confidential Dear Mr. Bruce: I certainly appreciated your proposed statement of the eleventh and your letters of the ninth and twelfth. I shall expect to talk with you before taking any action on your letter of the twelfth. 1 am perfectly happy with your actions as Ambassador and I sincerely hope that you can remain at least for a time in Buenos Aires for me. I imagine you will be coming up here sometime soon, in which case I'll dis- cuss the matter with you personally. I am glad that Admiral Foskett and his men had a successful visit in the Argentine capital. Naturally we want to maintain our good relations with all our southern neighbors, particularly with Argentine. You have done a wonderful job down there and I appreciate it. Sincerely yours, lis.
