My dear Mr. President:
 
 
The British Ambassador yesterday gave me
 
for our confidential information the memorandum
 
which I attach herewith.  This memorandum covers
 
the conversations between Lord Halifax and Hitler
 
as related by the former to the French Prime
 
Minister and Foreign Minister on the occasion
 
of the visit of the latter to London on Nov-
 
ember 29 last.  I think you will want to read it.
 
 
I also enclose a memorandum of my conversa-
 
tion with the German Ambassador on November 29
 
relating to the same topic.  You will notice
 
that the German Government advised us confiden-
 
tially of the results of these conversations a
 
 
 
The President,
 
The White House.
