BRITISH LEGATION
BERNE.

22. I. 40.

Sir,

I have to inform you, with reference to your lettre of the 23d November, 1939, submitted to H.M. Consul in Geneva, that H..... proposal has been reconsidered by the Competent Authority in the United Kingdom.

They thank you for having drawn the matter to their attention, but find that the decision which was previously conveyed to you still stands and that they are unable to make use of H.......'s discovery.

I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,

signé : Henry Cartwright
Lt-Colonel,
Military Attaché

Monsieur R.{Sir Henry Royce} Siegrist,
Geneva.
