Concentration of approximately one division has been
taking place in Bocca Tigris Namtao area for at least ten
days but no identifications received here. Assume you are
doing your best through your own sources and not relying
solely on S. I. 3. to whom I have already made strong
representations here. Standard required is that you should
know name of every commander of major unit within 48 hours
of landing and no effort must be spared to reach and maintain
this standard. Information also urgently required of point
of origin of fresh troops. Would welcome your opinions or
recommendations by safe means regarding possibilities of
improvement.
