Lord Halifax to Franklin D. Roosevelt (March 10, 1941)
WASHINGTON, D. C.
PERSONAL AND MOST SECRET
Dear Mr. President,
I enclose herein a copy of a Personal and Most Secret message from the Prime Minister which has just been received at the Embassy. The second half of this message, which deals with a different subject, has been received in corrupt form, but will be forwarded to you as soon as possible.
I have been instructed in forwarding this message to you to make it clear that in case the United States Government should contemplate giving His Majesty's Government diplomatic support in Angora, Moscow and Belgrade on the lines suggested by the Prime Minister, it is most important that the United States representatives in those capitals should say nothing about the British military move towards the Balkans.
Believe me,
Dear Mr. President,
Yours very sincerely,
The Honourable
Franklin D. Roosevelt,
President of the
United States of America,
Washington, D.C.
