One page, small 4to, integral blank on imprinted White House stationery. CONDOLENCES FROM CHURCHILL. "The Prime Minister [Winston Churchill] has just had the enclosed [not present] delivered to us for forwarding to you. I was wondering if you would like to retun it to us and we could have it photostated so that a copy could go to Stephen's mother, his brothers, Diana and perhaps you would like the extra one. I would also like to have a copy. I am delighted that you made the trip so well to Rochester..."
