My dear General Watson:
 
     With reference to my letter of June 17, 1941,
I enclose a copy in translation of a further communication addressed to Marshal Petain by
Monsieur Reynaud from his prison at Vals.
 
        Upon delivering copies of this letter to the Embassy Monsieur Reynaud's emissary again
earnestly requested that the most confidential treatment be accorded these letters since were it
known that Monsieur Reynaud had caused these copies to leave France, serious reprisals might be
taken against him.
 
                         Sincerely yours
 
 
 
Enclosure:
 
Copy of letter in translation, as stated above.
 
Major General Edwin M. Watson,
 
Secretary to the President,
 
The White House.
 
DECLASSIFIED
State Dept. Letter, 1-11-72
