10 Downing Street,                     
 
                            Whitehall.                      
 
                                                            
 
 
                     February 23, 1944.                     
 
                                                            
 
 
                     My dear Franklin,                      
 
                                                            
 
 
Clemmie suggested to me that we should send you this photograph 
      of some of the rooms of 10, Downing Street after the bombs fell 
      last Sunday night, as it contains a copy of the picture of us 
      both at Argentina. The carpet in the foreground is the one given 
       me by the Shah at Teheran; luckily it is undamaged.  
 
                                                            
 
 
It is surprising what curious blast effects have followed 
      from these few bombs. Places as much as 500 yards away have been 
      affected, while others quite close to have been missed out. They 
were very quick at clearing up all the mess and we are back 
 
                                                            
 
 
                        Yours always
