My dear Sir Rupert,
Please refer to the copy of your note of the
^-;th January I f )50 forwarded to me undor i’.L# Wo# our 4/5
of the sane da’,e#
May I take it that this is the answer to Wray*s
letter io.T/30 dated the 23rd January 1950 to you, and that
Cable and Wireless nay go ahead on that understanding, and
if so, whether I had better take a written undertaking,
that they will clear o t on notice being given which, if
possible, will be over six months: or shall I await further
instructions! I presume no lease cr rent or anything else
would be necessary under such an arrangement-- Cable and
Wireless are anxious to know by an early date.
Yours sincerely,
*fc
His Excellency Cir Rupert Bay, K.C.I. ., C#f>-I.
