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
