From: Washington
To: Viehy
Dated: July 30, 1942
Rec'd: July 31, 1942
Message No: 2869-2870.
Mon prédeessear, M. DE SAINT-QUENTIE a été saisi, en mai 1940, d'une recomandation (ehera)ant a faire accorder la Croix de la Légion d'Honneur \&amp; M. et Mme. GIRARD VAN BARKALOO HALE.

Mme HALE a été bien connue dans l'autre guerre par le Maréchal FETAIN, alors qu'elle servait comme .... anglaise, sous le nom de KATHLEEN BURKE. Elle possède une lettre personnelle du Marechal, lui (2870) adressant des remerciements chaleureux pour l'oeuvre ... accomplie.

Quant a M. GIRARD VAN BARKALOO HALE, il est titulairo de la Croix de Guerre française avec deux citations qui relarent sa (meritante) conduite pendant les hostilités 1914-1918.

Considérant les services de M. et Mme HALE et l'influence dont ils disposent ici (je) me permets de recommander très favorablement leur nomination a V.R.
