DEPARTMENT OF STATE
                                                     WASHINGTON
 
                                        July 7, 1941.
 
 
My dear Mr. President:
 
     I am enclosing herewith No. 9 in the series
 
of secret documents which we have received from
 
Germany. The figures should probably be studied
 
and analyzed by agricultural experts. With that
 
idea in mind I am informally furnishing a copy of
 
this document to the Department of Agriculture with
 
the request that they make a study and report. As
 
soon as the report is received I will send you a
 
copy and correlate it to the attached enclosure. 
 
               Faithfully yours,
               /s/ Sumner Welles
 
 
Enclosure:
  Document No. 9.
 
The President,
 
     The White House.
