March 4, 1939
 
      My dear Mr. President:
 
      
 
 
In accordance with the message from you which Steve Early 
      gave me this morning, I have informed the British Ambassador 
      that you will receive him at the White House tomorrow, Sunday, 
      at 2:30 p.m.
 
      
 
 
I am enclosing herewith a secret memorandum, which the Ambassador 
      left with me, when I saw him a couple of days ago, as well as 
      a memorandum of my conversation with the Ambassador. I believe 
      you may wish to read these two papers before you talk with the 
      Ambassador.
 
      
 
 
Believe me
 
      Faithfully yours,
 
      Sumner Welles
 
      The President,
 
      The White House.
