Dear Paskin,

The papers which some one in the Colonial Office sent to you (signature entirely illegible) arrived

safely today.

There is no news to tell you other than the fact

that there is an attempt by the Americans to re-open the

whole subject of the First Conference, and today the unofficial Associations (most of them very temperately)

gave us long speeches on what they thought of it all.

One of them produced a telegram from Gandhi, and Dukes,

who appears to have lost all sense of decency, said that

whilst the Government of India might be represented, the

people of India were not! He produced a written petition

signed by Gandhi and Rabif Tagore.

(As I am going out to dinner I am asking Kirwan

to sign this for me.

.)

J.J. Faskin, Esq.,

M.0.

Yours sincerely,

M.D.Perrins H. K

I
