THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
for
May 20, 1948
Dear Mrs. Roosevelt:
Thanks very much for yours of the seventeenth
enclosing me a copy of a letter you had written
to General Marshall about the recognition of
Palestine.
I am sorry, of course, that you were disturbed
by the procedure but, under the circumstances,
there was not much else to be done. Since there
was a vacuum in Palestine and since the Russians
were anxious to be the first to do the recognizing
General Marshall, Secretary Lovett, Dr. Rusk and
myself worked the matter out and decided the
proper thing to do was to recognize the Jewish
Government promptly. Senator Austin was notified
of what was taking place but he didn't have a chance
to talk with the other members of the delegation
until afterward. I am sorry that it caused any dis-
turbance.
Sincerely yours,
of
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
