Dear Grindle,
You recently sent us, for information, a copy of Peel's
unofficial letter to you of 12th November, 1930, enclosing a memorandum
on Kowloon and the New Territories. We presume that the question of
ceding any of the leased territory is not being or likely to be
seriously entertained.
Can you reassure us on this point ?
Yours sincerely,
S.Danwer thes
Sir Gilbert Grindle, K.C.M.G.,C.B.,
