Two of his sons Theodore A. Wilson, The First Summit: Roosevelt & Churchill at Placentia Bay, 1941 (Lawrence, Kans., 1991), 65.
At eleven A.M., Churchill crossed the bay The first Churchill-Roosevelt handshake has been well described by many writers. See, for example, Burns, The Soldier of Freedom, 126, and Wilson, The First Summit, 7879. In addition, I also drew on Burns, 125131, and WSC, VI, 11541168, for my account of the gathering at Newfoundland. For the ensuing meetings between the two men, from this one at sea until the last lunch about the Quincy, readers seeking more detail can consult Burns, The Soldier of Freedom, Churchill's own war memoirs, and WSC, VIVII, as well as all the other sources cited throughout the book.

”it didn't take them long” Elliott Roosevelt, As He Saw It (New York, 1946), 25. In interviews, Lady Soames and George Elsey, both of whom spent time in private settings with Roosevelt and Churchill, confirmed to me that Churchill, who often referred to Roosevelt as ”Mr. President” in larger gatherings, called Roosevelt ”Franklin” when fewer people were present. Further evidence of this is Churchill's use of the salutation ”My dear Franklin” on messages of a more personal nature later in the war.
