0< Foreign Office', 23rd November, 1939. My dear Philip, As promised in my telegram No:^792 of tne 20th November I now enclose copies of the letters which I have received from my colleagues at the War Office and the Ministry of Health in reply to my communication informing them of the generous offer of Mr, Winthrop Aldrich and some other prominent Americans to establish and maintain hospitals in the United Kingdom and Prance. I should explain, as the point is not clear from his letter, that I ascertained from Elliot, before sending, you the telegram referred to above, that he wished to be associated with Hore-Belisha in the latter1s grateful acceptance of the offer in principle. You will see from Hore-Belisha1s letter that the questions of detail are to be gone into with Mr. Swift !| (a/ The Most Honourable The Marquess of Lothian, C.H.
