My dear Halifax:
 
     Here is a draft of a message to General 
Chiang Kai-Shek and a draft of a message 
from me to Mr. Stalin. They are self-explanatory.
     I hope you will ask London if they will
go ahead with the holding of the Singapore confer-
ence and also instruct your people in Chungking
and Moscow to take part in the proposed meetings
as soon as they are held by Chiang Kai-Shek and
Stalin. I assume, of course, that Australia and 
New Zealand will be represented in Singapore.
 
               Always sincerely, 
 
 
          FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
 
 
The Right Honorable the Viscount Halifax, K. G.,
The British Ambassador,
Washington, D.C.                                  fdr/tmb
