Mexico, D.F., August 9, 1945.
Dear Mr. Connelly:
Commander Horsky and Lieutenant Siegl of the staff
of Justice Jackson have been here to get statements
from me in connection with the trials of the German war
criminals. We prepared two statements, one on Austria
and one on Germany. Of the one on Austria, I do not
have a copy here now but I expect to have one available
shortly to send you. Of the one on Germany, I am sending
you herewith a copy.
It is much too long for the President to read but
I am hoping that you will find time to read it and if
you think that the President will not be interested in
reading it, you may wish to bring it to the attention
of those of the President's associates and advisors who
may be interested therein.
I am also sending a copy to Secretary of State
Byrnes.
With all good wishes,
Cordially and faithfully yours,
George'S. Messersmith
