Viscount Halifax to Sir N. Henderson (Berlin).</H4>
<P>(Telegraphic) Foreign Office, August 30, 1939, 2:45 p. m. </P>
<P>WE are considering <A HREF="blbk78.asp" W3MIRHREF="http://avalon.law.yale.edu/wwii/blbk78.asp">German note</A> with all urgency and shall send official reply later in afternoon. </P>
<P>We are representing at Warsaw how vital it is to reinforce all instructions for avoidance of frontier incidents, and I would beg you to confirm similar instructions on German side. </P>
<P>I welcome the evidence in the exchanges of views, which are taking place, of that desire for Anglo-German understanding of which I spoke yesterday in Parliament. </P>
