We are deeply appreciative of your cordial comforting  
message. We pray that soon in God's providence peace with  
justice will come to our heart-broken world, that christian  
civilization will be preserved as the basis and incentive  
of world-order, and that love of God and neighbor will be  
the governing principles both of nations and of men. We  
are asking Mr. Taylor who is always most considerate to tell you of some   
of Our concerns and problems. With heartfelt  
prayer We beg God's blessings on Your Excellency and the people  
                   of the United States.                    
 
                        PIUS PP. XII
