Dear Winston:-
 
      
 
 
Mountbatten has been really useful to our Navy people and 
     %  he will tell you of his visit to the Fleet in Hawaii. The Jap 
      situation is definitely worse and I think they are headed North 
      -- however in spite of this you and I have two months of respite 
      in the Far East.
 
      
 
 
Dicky wi11 tell you of a possibility for your people to study 
      -- to be used only if Petain goes and Weygand plays with us.
 
      
 
 
I wish I could see you again|
 
      
 
 
As ever yours,
 
      ( Signed ) FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
 
      Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill
 
      (Kindness of Lord Mountbatten)
