Your telegram ilo.089 paragraph 3.

General Olmsted was not to be reached yesterday

but I informed his Chief of Staff accordingly last evening. The latter told me that Washington had informed General Wedemeyer carlier in the day of approach made to United States Chiefs of Staff but did not indicate that he knew what reply had been made.
