LONGHAND LETTER

      THE WHITE HOUSE
 
      WASHINGTON
 
      Oct. 15th.
 
      
 
 
My dear King George:-
 
      
 
 
Dicky Mountbatten has been with us for a couple of days and 
      I have learned a lot from him. Get him to tell you of his visit 
      to our fleet in Hawaii. I am a bit worried over the Japanese 
      situation at this moment. The Emperor is for peace I think, but 
      the Jingoes are trying to force his hand.
 
      
 
 
Here our production is doing rather well -- ahead of schedule 
      in most articles -- and public opinion is distinctly better than 
      six months ago. In fact it is more strongly with us than is the 
      Congress.
 
      
 
 
You and the Queen are doing a really "grand job". 
      Give her my very wane regards.
 
      
 
 
Always sincerely yours,
 
      ( Signed ) FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
 
      H.M.
 
      The King
 
      (Kindness of Lord Mountbatten)
