GREAT GEORGE STREE

Thank you for your letter of the 1at telling me that Morse has accepted
the terms for duress notes and enclosing your letter to MacDougall as sent and other papers including the first draft of a public announcement.
Besides your comment on this, I would suggest that the bank does not accept its own notes (as these now become) "as legal tender." The legal tender status is for the Goverment to confer. I expect that MacDougall
will alter this, but I mention it in case you may think it safer to send a telegraphic chaser to your letter.
S. Caine, Esq., C.M.G.,
Colonial Office.
Yours sincerely,
Мещения
