BRITISH EMBASSY,
 
      WASHINGTON, D.C.
 
      2nd December, 1941.
 
      
 
 
Dear Mr. President,
 
      You will remember that some time ago you asked me whether I could 
      get any information from the War Office as to the proportion 
      of Army recruits who were rejected on mental or physical grounds 
      for comparison with your own figures.
 
      I send you a note I have just received from England which is, 
      I think, self-explanatory. You will observe that they regard 
      the information as very confidential.
 
      
 
 
I am,
 
      Mr. President,
 
      Yours very sincerely,
 
      Halifax
 
 
      The Honourable Franklin D. Roosevelt,
 
      President of the United States.
