F.H. Rees'ten E. Venizelos'a, A. Diomidis ile kurduğu temasa ilişkin mektup.

ACROPOLE PALACE HOTEL Athens December 18, 1930. To His Excellency Eleuth. Venizelos Esq., President of the Greek Government, Athens Your Excellency, May I be allowed to thank you for your very kind reception of this morning and also for so kindly personally bringing me in touch with Mr. Diomedes. My interview, at noon, with Mr. Diomedes was most cordial and satisfactory and I arrived to the conclusion that in principle he not only approved my proposals but had himself felt, now for sometime, that such a basis of co-operation as suggested between the Greek and English Banks, serving Greek and English interests, was considerably overdue. Furthermore the members proposed for such a Syndicate of co-operation, namely Mr. Drossopoulos Mr. Ch. Hambro, Mr. Zachareou, and myself, met also with his approval. The condition you raised this morning that Mr. Drossopoulos should express his approval of these pro- posals before we commence our studies for the undertaking of the various works referred to during our conversation is not only quite satisfactory to myself but I know my important colleagues in London will also be in accord with such a stipulation because they greatly esteem the views and decisions held by Mr. Drossopoulos, on any Greek business matter. May I beg to remain, Yours respectfully, F. H. Rees. (F. H. Rees)
