He is making some progress but nothing has been signed yet.\nMy warmest regards to you.\nROOSEVELT\nRoosevelt Papers: Telegram\nPresident Roosevelt to Prime Minister Churchill 1\n1\nSent to the United States Naval Attaché, London, via Navy channels.\nTOP SECRET\n[WASHINGTON,] 18 November 1944.\nPRIORITY\nNumber 649, Personal and Top Secret from the President for the\nPrime Minister.\nYour 822.2 I am sending you in a message to follow a copy of a\n2 Ante, p. -\nmessage I have just sent to Uncle Joe on the subject of our next meet-\ning.³ It does not seem to me that the French Provisional Government\n3\nSent as No. 650, of the same date. For the text of the message to Stalin, see\nNo. 124 from Roosevelt to Stalin, supra.\nshould take part in our next conference as such a debating society\nwould confuse our essential issues. The three of us can discuss the\nquestions you raise in regard to turning over parts of Germany to\nFrance after the collapse of Naziism and the further problems of\nhelping to build up a strong France.\nI shall be glad to have your views about the time and\nplace of our next meeting.\nROOSEVELT\nRoosevelt Papers: Telegram\nPrime Minister Churchill to President Roosevelt 1\n1 Sent by the United States Military Attaché, London, via Army channels.\nTOP SECRET\nLONDON, 19 November 1944.\nPrime Minister to President Roosevelt, personal and Top Secret\nnumber 825.\n1. Naturally I am very sorry to receive your numbers 649 2 and\n650.³\n2 Supra.\n3 See footnote 3 to the preceding document.\n2. Your message to U. J. will, of course, make it certain that he\nwill not come anywhere before the end of January. Also you yourself\ngive independently the important reasons which make it difficult for\nyou to come earlier.\n3. These reasons, I fear, destroy the hope which we had cherished\nthat you would now pay your long-promised visit to Great Britain,\nand that we two could meet here in December and ask U. J. to send\nMolotov, who would be an adequate deputy. It is a great disappoint-\nment to me that this prospect should be indefinitely postponed.\n333305-55-pt."
