Trying to Find a source of a quote from Harry Hopkins?
I found a quote that I can't seem to find the original source of, is this a real quote or another internet make-up? This was between Harry Hopkins, adviser to Roosevelt before and during World War 2, and Churchill. "The President is determined that we [the United States and England] shall win the war together. Make no mistake about it. He has sent me here to tell you that at all costs and by all means he will carry you through, no matter what happens to him — there is nothing he will not do so far as he has human power."

If you go to Glooble Books and search for this quotation, it shows up in several books, one of which cites the following source: Churchill quotes Hopkins as saying this, in Churchill's book "The Grand Alliance," volume 3, pp. 23-24.
The book in which this excerpt from Churchill's book is printed and cited is "The Costs of War" edited by John Denson.
So it seems to be something Hopkins said in Churchill's presence, and we know about it because Churchill remembered it and wrote it down.
