My dear Welles,
 
     I should be grateful if you could arrange for the enclosed message from the Prime Minister
to be passed on to the President by safe means as soon as possible. It was received here late last
night
 
                    Yours very sincerely,
                         [Halifax]
     [P.S. unless  Bill' is a pseudonym for some body else, I presume it means  Dill'
                                        H.]
 
 
 
 
The Honourable Sumner Welles,
     State Department,
          Washington.
