may be in a position to testify as to its conduct. I have also requested the same thing from M.lloyd George through Col. Hankey, but my request has not yet been granted. Enclosed you will also find (Annex B) (the original two weeks of a cable from an Australian journalist, which reached me (a few days) ago. It is an altogether spontaneous evidence, coming from a Britisher, whom I have never met, and I think it might be well for the Foreign Office to see it. The corrections on the cable -- except the word Australian -- were made by the Cable Office clerk.) It is encouraging to think of real friends at this moment, and I am sure, dear Friend, that your joy will equal mine when the light of truth will prove the alleged accusations as greatly exaggerated. May I thank you once more for your untiring efforts on behalf of Hellas and I am sure that Hellenism is not unworthy of your noble efforts. With kindest regards, Your sincere friend,

ordunun tavrına tanıklık edebilecek durumda olacaklardır. Aynı şeyi Albay Hankey aracılığıyla M. Lloyd George'dan da rica ettim, ancak ricam henüz kabul edilmedi. Ekte ayrıca (Ek B) (Avustralyalı bir gazeteciye ait olup (birkaç gün) önce elime ulaşan bir telgrafın aslını bulacaksınız. Bu, hiç tanışmadığım bir Britanya tebaasından gelen tamamen kendiliğinden bir tanıklıktır ve Dışişleri Bakanlığının (Foreign Office) bunu görmesinin yerinde olacağını düşünüyorum. Telgraftaki düzeltmeler, "Australian" kelimesi hariç, Telgraf Ofisi memuru tarafından yapılmıştır.) Şu anda gerçek dostları düşünmek cesaret vericidir ve Aziz Dostum, hakikatin ışığı ileri sürülen suçlamaların büyük ölçüde abartılı olduğunu ortaya koyduğunda sevincinizin benimkine eşit olacağından eminim. Hellas adına gösterdiğiniz yorulmak bilmez gayretler için size bir kez daha teşekkür etmeme izin veriniz; Helenizmin asil gayretlerinize layık olmadığının söylenemeyeceğinden eminim. En içten selamlarımla, Samimi dostunuz,
