President Roosevelt to the Polish Prime Minister (Sikorski)87
My Dear Mr. Prime Minister: Thank you for your kind letter of May 4 which I have read with deep interest.
I need hardly assure you that I have been following with concern the developments in the Eastern European situation and desire to do what may appear to be most effective in healing on an equitable basis what I trust is only a temporary suspension of United Nations’ unity.
I was particularly gratified to have your assurances that you and your Government are anxious to do everything in your power to reestablish the united front against our common enemy and to work together with the other United Nations, including the Soviet Union, with a view to bringing the war to a victorious conclusion.
On its part the United States Government will continue to cooperate with your Government and all the Governments of the United Nations in attempting to bring about maximum understanding among these nations in order that the full weight of our armed forces may be brought to bear against our common enemy and thus hasten victory and a lasting peace based on justice and goodwill.
Sincerely yours,
