British Army Aid Group reports that message to Gimson has been sent to Forward Headquarters who will arrange for agent to take it in. There is no contact except Central Government runner and Colonel Ride warns that delivery may take a fortnight. There is also risk that agent may be stopped by Chinese Communists.

2. B.A.A.G. will report developments but no further news can be expected, unless there are outside developments, until agent returns.
