The acting Prime Minister to General Freyberg ( Crete)

We have just received your telegram of 11 May. The arrangements proposed by you would be most acceptable to us, and I suggest you should take the earliest possible opportunity to discuss the matter with the Prime Minister, whom I will advise. I would be glad also if a copy of your message could be shown to the Prime Minister in Cairo. 1
