Letter from WSC to Duff Cooper [later 1st Lord Norwich, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster] marked "Personal and Secret" regarding his future position as British Representative to General Charles De Gaulle's Committee of National Liberation, stating that he should try to win De Gaulle's confidence and try to play down his prominence in the committee in order to gain more support from the United States. Syria is seen to be an area where problems may arise as Major-General Sir Edward Spears [First Minister to the Republics of Syria and the Lebanon] has strongly held the British policy there of not wishing to supplant French interests but supporting Syrian independence. Ends with opinions on General Alphonse Georges, Rene Massigli [French Ambassador to Great Britain], Jean Monnet, General Georges Catroux and General Henri Honore Giraud. Signed.
