"Dear Mr Churchill, I am writing my memoirs of the last war. Although I do not foresee any date for their publication, I should like to send you herewith the text of what I say about you on the occasion of our first meeting on 8 June 1940 in your Downing Street office. This communication is, of course, intended for you alone. I should like you to take it, dear Mr Churchill, as a token of my personal feelings of loyalty to the past and confidence in the future.
