revised letters of appointment are being, or by

now probably have been, issued to the officers

concerned. This was based on a misunderstanding

that arose in the office, for obviously the position

of such officers cannot be clarified until you receive

a reply to your telegram No. 1184 of the 19th July,

which we hope to send off very shortly. I trust this

error will not have caused you any embarrassment locally.

As however it seems likely that a number of

:

the petitioners decided to send copies of the petition

to various M.P. s., and we may therefore have further

letters on the subject, I thought I would write and

ask you for a report on how matters now stand with

regard to the petition. We assume you have deferred sending it

to the Secretary of State until you have had an answer

to your telegram No. 1184.

May we take it that, once this

answer has been given, we may soon expect to receive

the petition officially.
