                         My dear Powers:-                   
 
                                                            
 
 
It is certainly good to hear from you again -- and especially 
             such a nice letter with its enclosures.        
 
      I think it is a grand idea that these very interesting documents 
      should be in Britain. I shall send them, at the first opportunity, 
      to the Prime Minister as a gift from you via me to the British 
               Prime Minister and the British Navy.         
 
                                                            
 
 
        I do hope to see you one of these days soon.        
 
                                                            
 
 
                   With all good wishes,                    
 
                      Very sincerely yours,                 
 
                      FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
