Winston Churchill to Franklin D. Roosevelt (November, 1940)
"Great Britain Folder"
10, Downing Street,
Whitehall.
November 1940.
My dear Mr. President,
This is to introduce you to my friend, Sir Walter Citrine. He worked with me three years before the war in our effort to arouse all parties in the country to the need of rearmament against Germany. At the present time he fills a position in the Labour movement more important to the conduct of the war than many Ministerial offices. As he is a Member of the Privy Council, you can count in every way upon his responsibility and discretion. He has the root of the matter in him, and I most cordially commend his to your consideration.
Believe me,
Yours very sincerely,
Winston Churchill
