The Under Secretary of State (Welles) to the American Member of the Inter-American Neutrality Committee (Fenwick)
Washington, December 27, 1940.
My Dear Professor Fenwick: I have received your letter of December 14 enclosing a copy of a preliminary draft of a convention on the Security Zone. I appreciate your thoughtfulness in furnishing me with the background contained in your letter regarding this matter.
The draft in question will be studied in the Department as promptly as possible. We will of course bear carefully in mind your emphasis of the fact it is of the most tentative character.
With warm personal regards,
Sincerely yours,
Sumner Welles
