May 30, 1940.
My dear Churchill:-
Ever so many thanks for that remarkably interesting story of the Battle of the River Plate — a grand job by your three cruisers.
You are much in my thoughts. I need not tell you that.
As ever yours,
Right Honorable Winston Churchill,
Prime Minister,
London,
England.
“Leave the past to history especially as I propose to write that history myself.”
