Clementine Churchill to W. Averell Harriman

Tuesday April the 15^th 1941

My dear Mr. Harriman

I am sending your generous present to the Lord Mayor of Bristol & although I shall respect your wish that it shall be anonymous, I shall tell him how moved the giver was by the sufferings and bearing of the people of Bristol.

I feel it Is the fervent hope and prayer of many of us that all this pain and grief, some of which we have perhaps deserved by our blindness and negligence, may bring our two countries permanently together & that they may grow to understand each other. Anyhow, whatever happens we do not feel alone any more.

Yours very sincerely

Clementine S. Churchill
