I have received your letter of February 15, 1941, with which you were  
h to transmit the autographed letter from His Holiness, Pope
 
                                                            
 
 
Would you be good enough to transmit my reply to His Holiness and at the  
same time to express my deep appreciation of the message from the cardinal  
                    Secretary of State?                     
 
                                                            
 
 
          With the assurance of my highest regard,          
                         believe me
