Dear Lady Manton,

Thank you very much for your letter about the

Japanese attack on the Imperial Airways liner "Delia"

on the 31st January. I need not say how sorry I am

that your son should have had this unfortunate experience.

We have asked Hong Kong for an official report and

we are expecting to receive it shortly. Pending its

receipt I cannot of course say what action it may be

possible and desirable to take a gainst the Japanese. In the meantime I am most grateful for your son's

personal account.

Claire, Lady Manton.

Yours sincerely,

(Signed) HALIFAX.
