 '''BRITISH EMBASSY, WASHINGTON D.C.'''

Dear Mr. President,

I was on the point of asking whether I might have an opportunity of seeing you tomorrow or the next day for a short talk when I got the enclosed message from the Prime Minister.

You will see that it relates to the earlier message that he sent to you through your Embassy in London concerning the movement of the French battleship "Dunkerque".

If you can see me tomorrow or Friday, perhaps you would be good enough to have your Secretary let me know.

The Honourable Franklin D. Roosevelt,

President of the United States.
