Your reference: S.44663 0.0. reference: 54058/4/41 Dear Hardie,

You wrote to me on the 10th December about recoveries in respect of maintenance grants for Hong Kong evacuees in Australia.

The subject has become rather academic by now but I enclose to complete your records:-

(1) a copy of the Acting Governor's telegram No.600 of the 26th September 1940 which was sent in answer to our telegram ilo.510 of the 18th September 1940.(I sent a copy of this to right under cover of a letter dated 30th September but it was presumably lost in your move to Great George Street);

(ii) a statement prepared in our

Accounts
