I am repeating to you in my immediately following telegram the text of the appreciation concerning the future employment of the 2nd Division, forwarded by the Chief of the Imperial General Staff under date 18 May and telegraphed to us by Brigadier Park and to the Prime Minister.

We are grateful for your message of 15 May [No. 448], but will defer consideration of the whole position until you let us have such comments as you might wish to make on the appreciation, and which I should be grateful if you would repeat to the Prime Minister.
