Letter from President Roosevelt to the Prime Minister of New Zealand
9 June 1943
Dear Mr. Prime Minister
,Just before Winston Churchill left here, he told me that your Parliament had agreed that the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force should be kept in the Mediterranean. Congratulations and thanks!
I hope much that the next Mediterranean operations will be so speedy and so successful that your troops can get home to rest a bit and be ready for the operations against Japan.
I do hope that Mrs. Roosevelt can visit you.2 We are all doing much talking about it—but don't say anything yet! Give my regards to Walter Nash.
With every good wish,
As ever yours
Franklin D. Roosevelt
