Sir,

I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 26th instant, relative to the request, received from the Russian Government, for the repatriation of the officers and crew of the Russian Destroyer "Burni".

2.

With regard to Lord Lansdowne's suggestion that, rending the decision as to their repatriation, the Russian officers and seamen should remin on board the "Temar", my Lords desire me to state that they will offer no objection to this arrangement, on the understanding that it is only adopted temporarily, and that, if it be decided not to sond the officers and crew back to Russia, the Naval authorities will be at once relieved of their presence in the "Tamar”.

A copy of this letter has been sent to the Colonial Office and War Office.
