Dear Mr. President:
 
     
 
 
As a matter of passing interest to you I am sending a copy of a letter   
from the Apostolic Delegate incorporating a telegram which he has received   
from His Holiness, the Pope, in response to a message which I recently sent   
expressing concern and interest in the situation in which the Holy Father  
finds himself at this time in view of the German occupation of Rome and the  
Policing of the Vatican property by German soldiers.
 
     
 
 
I wonder whether if at some appropriate moment you would consider it   
desirable to send a personal message to His Holiness? If you so desire,   
such message can be sent over the Vatican radio service. If not opportune,   
no reply to this letter is necessary.
 
 
 
With kind regard and best wishes, believe me,
 
 
 
Sincerely yours,  
Myron Taylor
 
 
 
The President,  
The White House.
