Thank you for your letter of 11 June enclosing your draft OPD submission. We have a number of points on the draft but as alas I shall be in hospital for most of the rest of this week, might I suggest that you arrange a meeting for next Monday at, say, 10.30 a.m. when, hopefully, we can agree on a text. Meanwhile I am enclosing a copy of the Governor's telegram to me no. 594 of 16 June which might also be discussed at the meeting. 83) assume his telegrams nos. 592 and 593 about the text of the

I Defence Costs Agreement itself will be circulated to you in the normal way.
