Yours faithfully,

(Sd.) G. B. S. THOMSON. Sir,-The Chairman of

the Evacuation Advisory Committee has asked me to reply to your letter of 4th November.

In preparing the notes on your case, I assumed that the words 'As her continued, absence from the Colony will involve our client giving up his present home and dismissing his staff... which

were used by Messrs. Johnson, Stolces and Master in their letter of 2nd August, were intended to imply that your appeal was based on financial' grounds;

If my remarks, which express- ed this assumption, were incor- rect, you were quite at flborty to contradict them. I presume that since no contradiction- was forth- coming the press reporters assum- ed that, you accepted my implica- tion.
