Dear Ashley Clarke,
With reference to your Host Secret letter of
the 21st November about the Chinese cyphers, etc.,
seized at Hong Kong, I enclose a copy of the telegram
from the Governor of Hong Kong of which I had already
given you the gist by telephone, and of our reply.
I am also sending copies of this letter and
its enclosures to Major steel at the war office.
Yours sincerely,
(. ASHLEY-CLARKE, E37.
