Downing Street, S.W.1. 25th January, 1941.
Dear Brenan,
Foreign Office note of 24th January F.215/98/10. We agree with (1) the draft telegram to Sir A. Clark Kerr and (2) the note to the Chinese Ambassador subject to the following:-
(1) Line 9. "7th November" should
be "9th November".
I also suggest omitting the words "and leniently" in line 19.
(2) In the middle of paragraph 3 "personalities" might better be "personages".
Would you repeat to Họng
Kong the telegram to Sir A. Clark
Kerr.
Yours sincerely,
SIR JOHN BRENAN, K.C.M.G.
Gelyant
