Memo. for Bill Hassett: or
I
Mr. Forster.
Please transmit following to Mr Messersmith: # Advise the
Duchess of Atholl that the President regrets exceedingly that she
is compelled to sail on Saturday or return to England before he
can return to Washington; that the President had looked forward
to seeing Her Grace in Washington early next week but that his
enaggements here for the remainder of his stay are such that he
cannot possibly accommodate a single additional request for
appointments at Hyde Park".
Also please tell Mrs. Scheider of the contents of this message
so that she may, in turn, advise Mrs. Roosevelt.

Memo. for fr. Massett:
Bill: We understand that the duchess of Atholl is in Washington;
that she asked Ronald Lindsay to arrange an appointment for her to
meet the President; that he refused and forbade her to seek an
appointment saying that United States officials could learn all they
wanted of English opinion through official Embassy channels.
Messersmith, of the State Department, is supposed to know about this
Tell Messersmith confidentially that the President would like to
know if this report is true and on what grounds - whether she is
liberal on conservative, socialist or whatnot. For your information,
I think the President is likely to see her despite the Ambassador.
Should this happen, what would the consequences be? Please get the
low down from Messersmith and let me have it. If Messersmith can't
give you the information the President wants, tell him to make
inquiries and get it for us.

CLIFFORD, Sir Bede Edmund Hugh, K.C.M.G., C.M.G.,
Governor of the Bahamas
March 16, 1937
The President wrote and thanked him personally and in the name of the American
people for his letter of February 25, re recent floods in this country. States
that through the Secretary of State, the President has received from the British
Ambassador in Washington a similar message on Sir Bede's behalf, and he says
these expressions of sympathy are deeply appreciated. Says he has learned through
the Secretary of State that the check for five hundred pounds, tendered by the
Colony for flood relief, was not delivered by Sir. Ronald, since he is familiar
with American Red Cross practice to decline to accept gifts from Governments of
other countries, but that we are none the less grateful for this splendid act of
friendship on the part of the Government and the people of the Bahamas. -- This
reply was drafted in complianze with Miss LeHand's memo of March 5, by the Acting
Chief of Protocol, Department of State, March 13. - Sir Bede's letter of Feb. 25
and copy ofSir Ronald Lindsay's letter of March 5, are attached.
