Dear Sterndale Bennett,

214

Many thanks for your letter of 10th August (F 4858/1147/G) with the draft telegrams to Washington on the matter of Civil Affairs in Hong Kong.

This is just to confirm our conversation this morning that these drafts are now to be regarded as lapsed owing to the new conditions, vis-a-vis Japan.

Yours sincerely,

им

14/8

J.C. Sterndale Bennett, Esq., CMG, MC.
