Dear Gent,

With reference to our telephone conversation

yesterday I send you herewith a draft which you might,

if you think fit, send to Singapore and Hong Kong

(and Commander-in-Chief) giving them a summary of

recent developments as regards the Tientsin situation.

Yours sincerely,

Ashley Clarks:
