Dear Mr. President,
I much appreciated your kindness in writing about the Pilgrims Speech. I was glad to have an opportunity, so soon after your inauguration, to re-emphasise the importance I attach to the relationship between our two countries. I greatly look forward to discussing this and other matters with you at the end of the month.
Yours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher
The President of the United States of America
