Letter from the United States Naval Attaché (Wellington) to the Prime Minister of New Zealand
My Dear Mr. Prime Minister:
I have the honour to transmit the following radio message from the President of the United States of America:
I have been delighted to learn you are leaving the New Zealand Division in the Middle East for the present. This action on the part of your Government is a renewed evidence of our mutual military interests. I believe you have done the right thing. It is altogether generous. Roosevelt.
