My dear Gerard,
In a recent letter which I have mislaid
you reminded me as to the return of certain documents
relating to Agricultural Indebtedness which you sent
out with your letter of 16th May, 1938. I now return
the two documents concerned, that is, Sir Ernest M.
Dowson's Note on the Agricultural Indebtedness in the Zanzibar Protectorate and Mr. B.J. Surridge's Report
on Co-operation and Agricultural Credit in Cyprus. I apologize for the delay which has been added by the
recent absence of the Bishop on a visit to Kwangsi. That is now almost the principal field of his activities and there were reports, fortunately apocryphal, that he was contemplating removing his
Cathedral there.
Any possibility of doing anything about
agricultural conditions has of course receded into the
dim future, and we have plenty of other things to
think of at present.
G.L.M. Clauson, Esq., C.M.G., O.B.E.,

Yours sincerely,
