Dear Olauson,
With reference to our letter (E 4721/10/91) of
the 13th August covering the record of a conversation
between Baggallay and the Italian Chargd d’Affaires about
the interpretation of the Rome Understanding of 1927, I
enclose a copy of a letter from Baggallay to Cowell asking
for certain information to help us construct our case
against the Italians.
2. As Baggallay^ letter (and the Foreign Office
memorandum which formed the enclosure) relate in part to
the period before 1927, Blaxter has suggested we should
enlist your assistance for the period which falls outside
the scope of the Colonial Office. We should be grateful
for your cooperation.
3. I also enclose a copy of a letter to Blaxter,
supplementary to Baggallay^ letter to Cowell of the
13th August.
