15th February 1945.                     
 
                        My Dear Franklin,                   
 
      Thank you for your letter of February 11 about Italy. 
 
                                                            
 
 
Weighty questions are raised in your letter, and I should 
      like to consider them at leisure and send you my considered views 
                    after my return to London.              
 
                                                            
 
                     Signature (see original)               
 
                                                            
 
      The President of the United States of America.
