President Roosevelt to Prime Minister Churchill 1

secret
[Hyde Park,] 26 August 1943.

From the President to Colonel Warden, Personal and Secret.

Number 346. Your number 414.2 Wednesday, the First, is all right in every way. If the Subaltern wants to go to Oglethorpe3 it would give her more time in Washington if she were to come down a day or two ahead.

I hope Lady Warden4 is getting a real rest and that you are too. Also I hope that you have gone to one of the lakes. Be sure to have the big one weighed and verified by Mackenzie.5
