Dear Mr. President,
 
      As I promised you this morning I enclose herein a statement of 
    %   the British, Australian, New Oealand and Dutch naval, military 
      and air forces in the Far East.
 
      This statement is naturally of a highly confidential character 
      and as there is some reason to believe that the Japanese overestimate 
      the forces available it is most important that the figures should 
      be kept most secret.
 
       
 
      Believe me,
 
      Dear Mr. President,
 
      Very sincerely yours,
 
      The Honourable
 
      Franklin D. Roosevelt,
 
      President of the United States of America,
 
      Washington, D.C.
