Dear Foster:
Thank you for the word about your plans. We shall be looking forward to having you here on the twenty-fourth. I hope you are having a good rest and gathering strength for the busy days which I now are in store for you.
Your office arrangements are being made and we shall welcome Miss Doyle. I suggest that you ask her to come in to see Mr. W. J. McWilliams, Director of the Executive Secretariat, Room 5131, upon her arrival at the Department. Mr. McWilliams will be expecting her and will see that she is helped to get things started for you.
Sincerely yours,
DA

Dear Dean,
I have spent today talking with Butterworth and Howard and made them some suggestions.
I am off tonight, to be gone until the 22nd or 23rd unless there is occasion for me to come back sooner. I told Mr. Butterworth that I would not only be glad to come back, but anxious to come back, if any critical decisions are to be made. Otherwise I shall turn up at the Department sometime Monday morning, April 24th.
I am asking Miss Doyle, who was with us at Paris at the Council of Foreign Ministers meeting, and who has been with me at various U.N. Assemblies to come down as my secretary. She may come a day or two in advance to get things ready for me. I assume she will find space in the Department.
Sincerely yours,
/S/ Foster
The Honorable Dean Acheson, The Secretary of State, Washington, D.C.
