Dear Mr. President,
I enclose herein the special letter addressed to you by Mr. Winston Churchill, about which I told you, and which he wanted you to get while you are on board your cruiser. This letter has been sent from London by telegram.

Believe me,
Dear Mr. President,
Yours very sincerely,

Lothian

P.S. I am sending a few extra figures about shipping to Harry Hopkins who asked me for them.
I hope you are having a restful holiday.
The Honourable
Franklin D. Roosevelt,
President of the United States of America,
Washington, D.C.
