                      My dear Mr. President:                
 
                                                            
 
 
There is enclosed a letter from Prime Minister Churchill expressing 
      appreciation for the gifts for relief of suffering which have 
      been sent from America to Great Britain and stating that the 
      volume of this material must be diminished because of increased 
                       demands on shipping.                 
 
                                                            
 
 
I enclose for your consideration and, if you approve, your 
          signature, a suggested reply to Mr. Churchill.    
 
                                                            
 
 
                     Faithfully yours,
