Prime Minister Churchill to President Roosevelt¹

top secret

London, May 28, 1944.

685. Prime Minister to President Roosevelt top secret and personal.

1. Cabinet and I are most grateful to you for your number 543² about my 680.³

2. I still think that a short visit is, above all things, desirable for the Staffs and above all for you, but any time after D + 14 might be convenient to you, and would be received with rejoicing by us. I am delighted at what you say and that you are keeping this in view. Doctor Churchill informs you that a sea voyage in one of your great new battleships would do you no end of good.
