President Roosevelt to the Chairman of the American Delegation (Davis)^7a

Washington, August 30, 1933.

Dear Norman: Here are the letters^7b—(1) the letter to you for the French, with a postscript at the end so that you can show the whole thing to Daladier;^7c (2) the letter to you which you can show to MacDonald and other Britishers; (3) a personal note for you to give to MacDonald.

The letter for you to take to Italy,^7d I will send over in a day or two so that you will get it in plenty of time before going to Rome. It is so late tonight that it simply cannot be written in time.

Bon voyage and all the good luck in the world. If you pull off disarmament they will bury you in Arlington when you die if that is any comfort to you now!

Very sincerely yours,
