0. in 0. Hong i ong's telegram GA 1796 of 1st February refers to the suggested course for Mr. 0.F. Hamilton but you will
note that Wing Commander Oxford speaks of a four weeks' course and that the telegram only mentions a week's course, which is obviously incorrect.
Wing Commandar Oxford will by now have seen C. D. Savingram to 0. in 0. Hong Kong of 12/2/46 (27116 C.R.) regarding Moss' return but I should be grateful if you could let me know when Hamilton is expected to be fit and whether Communications Department oan arrange the suggested course for him, so that I can give Oxford some idea of Hamilton's departure date.
I enclose a spare copy of this minute in care you wish
to pass it to Communications Dapartmanrk.
