Dear Wardley,

Bevir has asked me to send you copies of

Celegram Letter

the two letters enclosed, in case you have not seen

them.

We have had an urgent reminder from Hong Kong

and a refusal to meet the Governor's request in any

way creates obvious difficulties, especially as the

Foreign Office do not appear to think that the early

return of the refugees to Shanghai would be practicable.

Bevir will ring up early on Monday to discuss

this.

D.J. WARDLEY, ES4., M.C.

Yours sincerely,

(d) P. Rages
