[Reply letter from Department of State, Washington to T. N. Carswell - July 1, 1946]
A reply letter [to T. N. Carswell], from The Department of State, Washington, Division of Public Liaison, dated July 1, 1946. An advisement to Carswell that his recent communication concerning the mission of Mr. Myron C. Taylor to the Vatican has been referred by the White House to this department for a reply. Advises of how Taylor was appointed in December of 1939 by Roosevelt to help lesson the effects of war, that throughout the war the Vatican was one of the few localities in Europe still in contact with all countries, where there were established representatives of almost all the United Nations and the enemy powers making Vatican City unique. Mr. Taylor was sent to the Vatican to take advantage of this situation and Mr. Taylor's mission has only been continued by President Truman.
