DIVISION OF EUROPEAN AFFAIRS
  February 9, 1940
 
 
 
 
Mr. Myron Taylor telephoned this morning  
to say that the President had showed him yesterday  
the letter of appointment which was to be signed by the President  
and sent to Mr. Taylor.  Mr. Taylor said that the letter  
made no mention of his status as Ambassador.  He attached  
considerable importance to the mention of this, and  
hoped that it could be inserted.
 
 
 
 
The letter is now in the hands of the President.  
Would you authorize the Protocol Division to communicate  
Mr. Taylor's wishes to the White House.
