Jan 20 1941
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
Dear Churchill,
Wendell Willkie will give you this - He is truly helping to keep politics out over here. I think this verse applies to your people as it
does to us:
'Sail on, Oh Ship of State!
Sail on, Oh Union strong and great.
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hope of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate.'
As ever yours
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
[the text of the letter is repeated down the right edge of the poster]
