The Acting Secretary of State to the Secretary of War (Woodring)
My Dear Mr. Secretary: I have received, by reference from the White House, your letter of November 12, 1936, in which you quoted a message for the President from the President of the Philippines.
[Page 33]At the request of the President, a copy of your letter has been forwarded to the Secretary of State at Buenos Aires. Will you be good enough to advise the President of the Philippines of the action that has been taken? You may wish to state further in your reply to him that this Department is confident that his message to President Roosevelt will receive the sympathetic consideration of the Secretary of State, in the event that any agreement of the nature of the one mentioned in that message comes before the conference at Buenos Aires.
Sincerely yours,
