BRITISH EMBASSY,
 
       WASHINCTON, D.C.
 
                         30th April, 1942.
 
Dear Mr. President,
 
     After our meeting yesterday I asked our
 
people for the latest information on shipments of
 
aircraft to Russia.    I think you were disposed to
 
make a guess at the figure at somewhere round about
 
700.
 
     From the note supplied to me, of which I
 
send you a copy, it looks as if it comes out a good
 
deal better than this, and that arrivals in Russia up
 
to the end of March have been:-
 
From the U.K.    1292
 
From the U.S.A.   226
 
Total:                    1518
 
          Believe me,
 
          dear Mr. President,
 
               Yours sincerely,
 
The Honourable Franklin D. Roosevelt,
President of the United States of America
