Note from WSC to John Martin [Prime Minister's Principal Private Secretary] stating that the Lord Mayor of Manchester should be told that WSC believes it would be a great mistake to deal with these matters during the Election [conferring Freedom of City of Manchester on General Dwight Eisenhower, Field Marshal Sir Harold Alexander and Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery] and stating that the arrangements for General Eisenhower to receive the Freedom of the City of London were made before the Election was decided upon (with note in margin asking Private Office to check this). [Typescript] With further annotations by John Martin, one noting that Eisenhower came to lunch on 16 Mar, the Lord Mayor [? of London] called on 22 Mar, and WSC tendered his resignation on 23 Mar.
