Letter to Director, FBI . , .
“inevitable. If J am returned to power, and it seems likely Se
that I shall.be, if you need a job come and see ma and present
this book, and I will see to it that you are suitably employed!.
“on that evening, the greater part of which was spent -
in making music-for our guests, present day politics vere not --
discussed--except that long after midnight--one significant -
remark was made to me by BURGESS. It was that the menory of
such a5 evening of music. making among friends would never be
forgotten. He felt that war was eminent and that it probably
would take place within ton days. As he was slightly under
the influence of drink--his remark made no impression on me-=-
but in view of his disappearance, he obviously felt that there
was signifance in the remark which repeated in the sober light
of the following morning to -
"He left our studio with AMEMV and @gMBP about 2:30 a.H.
"On the following day when he was scheduled to sail
on the QUEEN MARY, Q@MMphoned to ask if I would go to the .
Gock with him and GUY. I said that I would. It was then about
1 P.M., and the boat was to sail at 2:30 P.M., or three. I said
I'd be right over and hung wp the receiver. Almost immediately,
the telephone bell rang again. GUY requested that IJ remain here
and he and MF would pick me up. When they arrived, I questione
his motive in coming east--out of his way--when owing to the
lateness of the hour he should have motored to the dock. He
repeated that he wished to hear again the speech that he had
recorded, ‘in case there is anything incriminating in it', He
and set down and listened to the playback. When
it was finished BURGESS eaid ‘that's okays It's an interesting
story and-e jolly good recording. I wish you'd send me a copy
of it', . . .
"I told him that XY could expunge it in his presence
if he wished me to do 60. But again remarking that there was
nothing incriminating in the speech, he added that it could be
left on the tape. His taxi was waiting outside and the three
of us left for the boat. .In the taxi he intimated that he was
looking forward to his return to Englend. We were late getting
tothe boat. Wo more visitors were allowed on board--s0 aur
and I said goodbye to BURGESS et the barrier,®
