of 298 October 15, 1951 PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL Dear Dave: Thank you very much indeed for your letter of September 30. It is most generous and con- siderate and makes me both happy and unhappy. Surely the things that you ask can and would be done. I shall be in touch with you further either by note or when I see you in two or three weeks. Is Schuman making progress on the European army and on the larger project which we discussed with him in Washington and to which you allude in your note? With deepest gratitude to Evangeline, as well as to yourself, and with love to you both. As ever, The Honorable David K. E. Bruce, American Ambassador, Paris. S DA:ma
