It is undeniable that Messrs. Benson and Martini should take an early opportunity of communicating with him, if they desire to do so.

2. I am glad that Commander Hastings has expressed his willingness to meet these gentlemen at this Office at their wish, on the 2nd or on a 3rd from August. Mr. Chamberlain would be glad to be informed if they can attend there on either of the days named, so that Commander Hastings may be informed.

It is possible that this may be done as soon as possible, either by the Office or by individual post.
