My dear Ur« Under Secretary of State,
In your let -er of September 23rd
to the Ambassador, you enquired whether the
authorisation given some time ago, on a
request from the   ar Department, for aerial
photographs to be taken of the Central Group
of the Lesser Antilles, could be extended
to include British Guiana, since it appeared
probable that similar flights over certain
portions of that territory might be desired
in the near future.
I write to say that we have now
heard from the Foreign Office in London that
there will be no objection to similar flights
over British Guiana.    It appears, ho\7crver,
that there are no facilities for the landing
of land aircraft in British Guiana, but if
this is so, the War Department is no doubt
aware of it.
The Honourable
r   Mr. Sumner Welles,
Under Secretary of State
of the United States,
Washington, U. C#
3elieve me,
;.y dear :.r. Under Secretary
of State,
Very sincerely yours,
