President to Former Naval Person, No. 374, personal and secret.

I think your idea of enticing Uncle Joe to the Mediterranean with the offer of the use of a ship is excellent, but I am not sure whether or not I have told you this. In any case, I hope that your efforts meet with success for reasons you well know. Please let me know if you have any news on this matter.
