Dear Joe:-
 
      Yours of the eleventh has come an hour before I leave for Warm 
      Springs so I cannot even sign this. It is grand to have your 
      news and I hope you will keep on writing.
 
      
 
 
Poor old Russian Ambassador| I hope he will not die of fright 
      if he is sent for.
 
      Since you left things have not changed greatly here - no better, 
      no worse.
 
      
 
 
I miss you much. Love to Rose and the children.
 
      
 
 
As ever yours,
 
      Honorable Joseph P. Kennedy,
 
      American Embassy,
 
      London,
 
      England.
 
      
 
 
P.S. When you feel that British accent creeping up on you 
      and your trousers riding up to the knee, take the first steamer 
      home for a couple of weeks holiday.
