                             PRIVATE:                       
 
                                                            
 
 
                    Dear Mr. President,                     
 
                                                            
 
 
I am writing to tell you that I had a telegram from Anthony 
      Eden yesterday, to say that they want to move Ronnie Campbell 
      to take charge of the near Eastern Department in the Foreign 
       Office, in place of Petersen who has gone to Ankara. 
 
                                                            
 
 
Anthony had thought of sending Ronnie to Warsaw, but the way 
      Polish affairs have gone has not made that possible; anyhow for 
                           the present.                     
 
                                                            
 
 
We shall be very sorry to lose Ronnie here and I shall miss 
                            him a lot.                      
 
                                                            
 
                          The Honorable                     
 
                      Franklin De Roosevelt,                
 
                 President of the United States,
