Telegram from Eamon de Valera to President Harry S. Truman
(Washington)
DUBLIN, 13 April 1945
On behalf of the Government, of Dáil Éireann, and of the people of Ireland, I wish to express our deep sorrow at the death of President Roosevelt and our very great sympathy with his family and with the American people in the calamity which has befallen them. America has lost a great man and a noble leader.
May God give solace and strength to his family to bear their great trial.
EAMON DE VALERA
