My dear Howard,

Thank you very much for your letter

(53871/38) dated 15th January, 1938.

I return herewith the papers about

Lieutenant-Commander Douglas.

As I said to you on the telephone, I am

quite clear that while Commander Douglas would

probably be suitable for the post. Wing-Commander

Steele-Perkins undoubtedly has much higher quali-

fications.

As you said, I think we must await an answer

to the cable you have sent to Hong Kong.

Yours sincerely.

F.J. Howard, Esq., O.B.E.,
