                    Dear Mr. Secretary:                     
 
                                                            
 
 
During the last few years I have sent you from time to time the   
letters that I have received from a distinguished correspondent in London,   
These letters had to do with settlements during and after the war and the   
creation of an international organization to preserve the peace of the   
                           world.                           
 
                                                            
 
 
 Some little time before I left home for my present destination I   
wrote my British correspondent inquiring whetherbecause of the progress of  
 the war - the views he had expressed in previous letters had been  
 modified or expanded. I have now had forwarded from my office the   
enclosed private and confidential letter which I think will he of interest   
to you. The President and yourself have had access to the previous   
Correspondence; no copies of it, however, are on file either at the White'   
House or at the State Department, and it is not desired , that the present   
letter should reach the files or be offered for reading by others than the   
nt and yourself, I have eliminated the name and title of the
 
                                                            
 
 
 I assume that the President is absent and that you will bring   
this letter to his attention upon his return. I am not sending a copy to   
           him personally because of his absence.           
 
              With kindest regards, believe me              
 
                      Sincerely yours,                      
 
                         Enclosure:                         
 
                    Copy of letter dated
