My dear Stubbe,

I'r.Churchill desires me to answer your

letter of the 12th of June as a question with regard

to the Colonial Regulations is involved.

He quite agrees that there can be no ob-

jection to your keeping the christening muɛ.

necessary to require that you should pay its value

into the Treasury.

At the same time Ur.Churchill is not

without apprehension as to possible consequences.

results that might be very embarrassing both to you

and
