The British Ambassador (Halifax) to the Under Secretary of State (Stettinius)

My Dear Ed: I have received your letter of January 19th in which you inform me that the Treasury has recommended favourably the proposal to make a hundred million ounces of silver available to the Government of India, and I note that it is your belief that only certain details remain to be worked out.

I have just received a telegram from Mr. Amery,41 the Secretary of State for India saying how grateful he is that this valuable support to the Indian economy is forthcoming, and I want to thank you very much for your cooperation in arranging this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Halifax
  1. Leopold S. Amery.
