Please see the Secretary of State's note

in the margin of the typed copy of your minute

reference Mr. Hobhouse's letter attached.

I dictated the attached as a rough

draft of a letter in reply, but it has come out

as a full-fledged letter. Please treat it as a draft,

however, and alter it as you think fit.

We can then have it retyped for submission to the

Secretary of State at the beginning of next week

when he returns to the Office.

Mr. Gent is away. I think the draft

will do very well with the small addition which

I have made.
