Ministry of Information Bulletin: Facsimile of a Letter From President Roosevelt to the Prime Minister Accession Number: ARTV03256

Description

British Second World War poster published by the Ministry of Information. The poster depicts a facsimile of a letter from President Roosevelt to Prime Minister Churchill as well as a semi-formal introduction of Wendell Willkie, Roosevelt's challenger in the 1940 US Presidential Election. Superficially political opponents, Willkie and Roosevelt ended up close friends, to the point where there was discussion of a political coalition between the two post-war - a proposal only denied by Willkie's death in 1944. The letter wishes Churchill well.
