it says:

"our landings in the cherbourg-havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. my decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. the troops, the air and the navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. tf any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."

given that it's a handwritten note, he most likely was planning to kill himself if the invasion failed

>>> On a serious note, apparently this weighed very heavily on his mind when he finally had to give the 'go' order.
