Dear Governor

I am enclosing you a memorandum which Paderewski prepared concerning the advisability of your permitting the raising of a Polish army.
I have talked to General Bridges and to Balfour about this and they both heartily approve– particularly General Bridges. Bridges suggests that they be given training in Canada where camps are already equipped and ready.
---------------
I am enclosing a letter from George Gordon Moore. Moore was with General French for a year on the Western Front. His advice is the “other side of it”, but is largely concurred in by Frederick Palmer the war correspondent who was at the front in France for so long.
-------------------
My third and last enclosure is a memorandum made by Stettinius. Spring-Rice, for some reason, wanted me to see him which I did the other day. This memorandum is the result. I presume his conclusions are approved by the Allies.Affectionately yours,

E.M. House

115 East 53rd Street,
New York.
