BRITISH EMBASSY, WASHINGTON, D.C. 2nd December, 1941. Dear Mr. President, You will remember that some time ago you asked me whether I could get any information from the War Office as to the proportion of Army recruits who were rejected on mental or physical grounds for comparison with your own figures. I send you a note I have just received from England which is, I think, self-explanatory. You will observe that they regard the information as very confidential. I am, Mr. President, Yours very sincerely, Halifax The Honourable Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States. |
