                   My dear Mr. President:                   
 
      I am heartily in accord with the suggested message to Mr. Churchill 
      enclosed with your memorandum of July 12. It seems to me highly 
      desirable that you send this message without delay. If you have 
      no further changes to make in it, please send it back to me and 
       I will then have it cabled to the Embassy in London. 
 
                                                            
 
 
                         Believe me                         
 
                        Faithfully yours,                   
 
                          The President,                    
 
      The White House.
