                    Dear Mr. President,                     
 
      I am writing with reference to the Prime Minister's telegram 
      to you of May 27th to inform you that the collection of his books 
      which he is presenting to you has now reached the Embassy by 
      bag from the Foreign Office. I am sending these books to the 
             White House today under separate cover.        
 
                                                            
 
 
                        Believe me,                         
 
                      Yours very sincerely,
