paragraph of Lord Halifax's letter to you of March 9th, 1943, 
      that is to avoid the danger that the medical certificate might 
      be used publicly by the Germans to expose our original propaganda 
      that Hess was sane and to bear out their own original contention 
      that he was mentally deranged when he flew to the United Kingdom. 
      They might even be able, on grounds of insanity, to claim Hess' 
                          repatriation.                     
 
                                                            
 
 
The Soviet Government is being informed of the action which 
                         is being taken.                    
 
                           Believe me,                      
 
                       Dear Mr. President,                  
 
             Very respectfully and sincerely yours,
