Dear Mr, Keeley,
&ay I refer to the Ambassador* a
note lio. 312 of July 8th and to fcir. Hull's
reply (811.1233/7) of the 27th July,
regarding notification of the burial or
the recovery of the bodies of members of
the British armed forces or of British
merchant seamen who may have died as a
result of enemy action?
The Foreign Office confirm that
s    they would be very grateful if the United
£      States Government would in fact interpret
our note as covering not only the United
States, its territories and possessions, but
also those territories in which the United
States re; resentatives are or nay be in
charge of British interests.   This is what
I guessed when you enquire^, would be the
Foreign Office's wish and I see that the
point was in fact covered in Mr, Hull's
reply.
