Letter from John Balfour [Foreign Office] to Harold Beckett [Colonial Office], with telegram from 11th Lord Lothian [British Ambassador to the United States, earlier Philip Kerr] on the reaction by President Franklin Roosevelt to a visit by the Duke of Windsor [Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Bahamas, earlier King Edward VIII and Edward, Prince of Wales] to the United States "in no circumstances ... before the election" however the President intended to visit Eleuthera Island [Bahamas] himself to see the site of the future United States base. Foreign Office annoyed as Britain had not yet agreed to a United States base, and the President should be asking if he might visit; copies sent to John Martin [Private Secretary to WSC], Sir Alexander Hardinge [Private Secretary to King George VI] and Clifford Jarrett [Principal Private Secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty]; also includes letter from John Colville [Private Secretary to WSC] to Balfour.
