The Secretary of State to the Minister in Ireland (Gray)
56. Below is the text of a further note which we propose to send to Prime Minister de Valera. Although the draft had been prepared before the receipt of your telegram no. 59, March 21,38 we have added to it certain suggestions from your telegram. Please telegraph any comments you have on this note. This draft is being telegraphed to Winant today for clearance with the British. As soon as the British approval is received we shall telegraph you. We believe it would be better for you to send the note rather than to deliver it in person. We plan to give this note to the press as soon as you telegraph that it has been delivered. The text of the note follows as Department No. 57.39
