WASHINGTON August 1. 1941 My dear General Watson: With reference to my letter of June 17, 1941, I enclose a copy in translation of a further communication addressed to Marshal Petain by Monsieur Reynaud from his prison at Vals. Upon delivering copies of this letter to the Embassy Monsieur Reynaud's emissary again earnestly requested that the most confidential treatment be accorded these letters since were it known that Monsieur Reynaud had caused these copies to leave France, serious reprisals might be taken against him. Sincerely yours Enclosure: Copy of letter in translation, as stated above. Major General Edwin M. Watson, Secretary to the President, The White House. DECLASSIFIED State Dept. Letter, 1-11-72 |
