MEMORANDUM :-
In reference to your No :2268/9/lA of the 8~12-4o., which
related to the re-export to U.S.A. of a case of automatic pistols.,
I have to report that the local Postoffice refused to accept this
package for the parcels post on the ground that the transmission of
arms and ammunition was prohibited, although they could not explain
how the original package arrived here by parcels post.
I have therefore had the package shipped to the original
senders by steamer's freight per s.s. 1 Varela 1 v,4o7 and on-carrier
to New York U.S.A.; and I enclose herewith the relative Bill of
Cost for favour of settlement, please.
