CONFIDENTIAL

My dear Gent,

I hope that my telegram about the

"Sagres" which I sent on Easter Day was not

regarded as fussy. The matter scarcely seemed

to me to be one for intervention on my part:

rather it appertained to the Foreign Office and

for Admiralty gentry. On the other hand I

gathered from the Commodore that he would welcome

some action on my part. Hence my inquiry.

Yours very sincerely,
