OCL who had expressed their concern about this.
4. I have bothered you with this account of what is no longer, since Oyama's bid succeeded, a pressing issue mainly because Sir John Nicholson told the Miniter that he would ensure that the Board of Trade were in no doubt about OCL's confidence in the action which the Embassy had taken over this. He, or other OCL representatives may therefore mention this to your department.
