Following is from Prime Minister for your Prime Minister:

Your most secret and personal message1 has been conveyed to me by the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs.

I cannot tell you how greatly we appreciate the efforts that you have been making to acquire for us essential arms and equipment for the defence of Fiji and also for the defence of New Zealand. We earnestly trust that this, and what further supplies you can make available, will arrive in time, and we can assure you that they will be used to the fullest advantage. I am including my comments on paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of your message in my immediately following telegram,2 to which I would beg your earnest and personal attention.
