President Roosevelt to Prime Minister Churchill1

secret
priority

Personal and secret from the President for the Former Naval Person. Number 416.

Your 497.2 As we cannot arrive Oboe before forenoon November 20th it seems to me impracticable to have a meeting at Malta enroute to Sextant. It is best to go straight through with one stop at Tunis for the night.

Perhaps we can visit Malta on the return journey.

I am glad you are bringing Winant.3
