Letter

Scope and Content

Letter from Auchinleck to Lord Wavell, the Viceroy, on the subject of Anglo-American relations in India, reporting that business relations with the Americans are definitely cordial, and that any setbacks are usually temporary, although the influence of [Gen. Joseph ('Vinegar Joe')] Stilwell is always on the side of non-co-operation; but suggesting that there is little association between British and American soldiers or between junior officers, and that matters could be improved by the creation of an informal meeting-place for junior officers of both nations.
