               From: Viscount Halifax
               to Marquess of Lothian
 
IMMEDIATE
Tel. No. 2234 of
     September 11th.
 
     Personal and Secret
 
     You should inform the President in
 
confidence of the contents of Stockholm telegrams
 
Nos. 1011 and 1016 and of my telegrams to Stockholm
 
Nos. 726 and 737.
 
               I feel that the President should know at
 
this moment when Hitler is battering London with
 
indiscriminate attacks from the air he is also
 
following his familiar technique of trying to
 
seduce us with superficial fair promises of an
 
illusory peace at the expense of everyone but
 
ourselves. I am sure that the President understands
 
that we are not unmindful of our responsibilities and
 
that we shall meet all attacks and all blandishments
 
with firm resolve to rid the world of this scourge.
