Wallace, Henry A., Washington. To G.S. Messersmith, Havana., 1940 April 05

Glad to know Messersmith is happily located and hopes warm weather will have healing effect on Mrs. Messersmith; sugar beet people pushing for legislation for smaller sugar quota for Cuba, but haven't gotten far; brother-in-law, Charles Bruggmann, disturbed by report Italians withdrawing their funds from U.S.; thinks Italians merely engaging in high class blackmail; still doesn't believe they will go in on side of Germans.
