My Dear Sir
Thanw you very much for
your letter. I felt at the time
that I should say something
for Poland, but as the talk was
not prepared at the time the
thought came to me, l was not
sure as how far the Polish
people were united in the cause
OF the Allies and yet most Of
those that I know are on Our
side. OF course I know much
Of the history OF Poland and
believe that this war should
bring about her recreation as
a State, but her territory has
been so divided between the
great Powers, that I did not
feel sure as to how the major
ity stood. | had Of course seen
what Paderewski had said and
it had effected me deeply. I at
least should speak OF the suf-
fering Of Poland and will try
to make il right the next time.
In the mean time, wish you
would let me know what your
own opinion is OF the proper
ton of the Polish people in
this country who are with US.
I ought to know this without
asking, but I find that I am
sometimes wrong about it. So
far as I know, most OF them
are against Germany and with
US.
I'would be glad OF any infor-
nation.
Very Truly Yours
