Your telegram No. 1552 paragraph 7 and your telegram No. 1523.
I understand that one exchange of notes signed by me is to cover both United Kingdom and India. Please confirm.
I am not quite clear as to the form you propose for our note. If it is the same as the Chinese note mutatis mutandis annex [grp. undec. ? will not be] confirmed. I suggest following draft:
"I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency's note of today's date reading as follows: (insert text of Chinese note). New paragraph.
I have the honour, on behalf of the Government of the United Kingdom and India, to confirm understandings, reached between us, as recorded in annex to Your Excellency's note".
OTP.
3. Do you approve?
4. Should annex itself be attached to our note?
