HERTS.
9th January 1941.
I enclose a copy of a cablegram from
His Excellency dealing with the question of firewood
supplies for the Hong Kong Government.
The parts underlined give the nearest inter-
pretation we can find of badly mutilated code words
which we have asked to have repeated.
The general position seems to be clearly
indicated, however, and I shall be glad if you will
kindly let me know as soon as possible what reply we
may send to the Governor.
G.E.J.Gent, Esq., D.S.0., &c. &c.
Colonial Office,
Downing Street,
Yours sincerely,
Wolid grou
London, S.W.1.
