Churchill to FDR "Give us the tools..."
Restored and remastered by Nathaniel S. Johnson, 28 July 2012
January 20, 1941
Dear Churchill
Wendell Wilkie will give you this--He is truly helping to keep politics out over here.
I think this verse (from Longfellow) applies to you people as it does to us:
"Sail on, Oh Ship of State!
Sail on, Oh Union strong and great.
Humanity with all its fears
With all the hope of future years
Is hanging breathless on thy fate."
As ever yours
Franklin D. Roosevelt

This Was Their Finest Hour
This was their finest hour address was delivered by Winston Churchill to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom on 18 June 1940. It was given just over a month after he took over as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at the head of an all-party Coalition government, the third of three speeches which he gave during the period of the Battle of France.
