I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your secret despatch of the 13th December, 1932,
regarding your cypher telegram No. 124 of the 8th
October, 1931 and to inform you that the misunderstanding
referred to in the third paragraph of your despatch
under reply was due to the fact that Nguyen Ai Quoc's
solicitors here had been informed in accordance with
the incorrect paraphrase of your telegram of the 8th
October that Nguyen Ai Quoc's admission to England would
not be objected to. It is not possible to say exactly
at what time this information was communicated as this
appears to have been done in conversation of which there
is no written record. It was however known to the
Solicitors in June 1932 when after the receipt of your
telegram No. 81. giving the terms of settlement of the
appeal by Nguyen Ai Quoc to the Privy Council, the Crown
Solicitor together with Mr. L.H.V. Booth of the Police
Department who was in charge of the case began to explore with Nguyen's solicitors the possibility of Nguyen's
reaching England, which was a "place to which he desired to
: go" and was by a misinterpretation of your telegram No.
124/1931 believed to be willing to receive him.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
SIR P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER, G.B.E., M.C., M.P.
