OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER
                                                            CANADA
 
 
                                                                                                                                      Ottawa,
                                                                                                                      February 23, 1944
 
               It has occurred to me that you might like to know that the Right Honourable Vincent
Massey, who is High Commissioner for Canada in the United Kingdom, will be spending a few
days in Washington, arriving, I understand, towards the end of the present week.
 
               Mr. Massey, as you will recall, was Canada's first Minister to the United States.
He has been in London as High Commissioner since 1935, and has been at the heart of the official
world throughout the period of the war.
 
               Mr. Massey will be returning to London in another week or two. He would, I know,
deeply value an opportunity to have just a word with you, if you have a moment to spare. If you
have that moment, I am sure you will find a brief talk with Mr. Massey both interesting and
helpful.
 
               I see you are having, if anything, a busier time than ever. I shall spare you, therefore,
more than this word, except to say that, as always, you are very much in my thoughts and have
my best and warmest of wishes.
