Your message of January 5 received. I am glad to learn from you that the preparations for "Overlord"
are in full swing and
that you will take other measures before the month is out. 2. I must say, since you have brought up the matter, that if we are to judge by the latest declaration of the Polish emigre Government and other statements by Polish leaders, we will see that there are no grounds for thinking that these circles can be made to see reason. They are incorrigible.

3. Please convey my thanks and good wishes to Lord Beaverbrook. 4. Our offensive is still making headway, particularly in the South, although the Germans are resisting desperately wherever they can.
