Cablegram 101 WASHINGTON, 28 May 1940
I discussed New Zealand Prime Minister’s message [1] with the President [2] today. He asked that his thanks be conveyed to Mr.
Fraser. President is clearly unable in circumstances to make formal reply [3] but I suggest that Fraser be informed by completely safe means of gist of my No. 100. [4]
