TELEGRAM
TO: AMEMBASSY                           FEBRUARY 9, 1942
     MOSCOW
 
 
 AND PERSONAL FROM THE PRESIDENT TO STALIN.
 
     OUR SHIPPMENTS FOR JANUARY AND FEBRUARY HAVE INCLUDED AND
WILL INCLUDE 244 FIGHTER PLANES, 24 B-25'S, 233 A-20'S, 408 MEDIUM TANKS
AND 449 LIGHT TANKS
 
     THE REPORTS HERE INDICATE YOU ARE GETTING ON WELL IN PUSHING
THE NAZIS BACK.
 
     WHILE WE ARE HAVING OUR IMMEDIATE TROUBLES IN THE FAR EAST,
I BELIEVE WE WILL HAVE THAT AREA REINFORCED IN THE NEAR FUTURE
TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT WE CAN STOP THE JAPS BUT WE ARE
PREPARED FOR SOME FURTHER SET BACKS.
 
     I REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING OUR SUPPLIES TO YOU AT
THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE DATE AND EVERY EFFORT IS BEING MADE TO GET
SHIPMENTS OFF.
 
                    ROOSEVELT
