I am glad to hear of your safe arrival and am most grateful for the expression of views and the information contained in your telegram of 27 June (No. 187) with which we are in general agreement. We are content to leave all questions concerning the utilisation of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in the United Kingdom to your discretion, on the understanding that, where possible, before action is taken you will give us the opportunity of forming and expressing an opinion.
