2. Attached is a suggested draft reply which I think is 220 self explanatory. You told me that the exercise referred to
in paragraph 9 of the telegram was now complete. Could you either suggest a draft answer on this point which could go in the telegram, or if that is too long, make an appropriate cross- reference to some written material to go by bag.

Yours sincerely
