On April 11 Eisenhower had received Churchill's reply, which questioned not the import of the text but its timing. "It would be a pity if a sudden frost nipped spring in the bud or if this could be alleged even if there was no real spring." He asked whether Eisenhower might combine restatements of resolve "with some balancing expression of hope that we have entered upon a new era. A new hope has I feel been created in the unhappy bewildered world" (Makins to Eisenhower, Apr. 11, 1953, and attached undated message, Churchill to Eisenhower, AWF/I: Churchill).
