Επιστολή του Σ. Βενιζέλου προς τον πρεσβευτή της Αγγλίας στην Ελλάδα Reginald Leeper, σχετικά με την παρεξήγηση που είχε προκληθεί ως προς την αποστολή του λοχαγού Ν. Βήλου στην Ελλάδα αλλά και σχετικά με την αποστολή στρατιωτικού υλικού προς το ΕΑΜ από τις αγγλικές υπηρεσίες.

MOST SECRET MINISTER'S OFFICE. Cairo, March 8, 1944. Ref. No. Your Excellency, I have the honour to inform you of the following and request that your attention may be given towards their investigation:- As you are aware, Group Captain N. VILOS had left for GREECE on a military mission. Upon his arrival at SMYRNA, British Services there have impeded his departure for GREECE for a substantial length of time, with the allegation that the above Officer had undertaken a mission of political nature - a statement which does not bear any ruth. Moreover, at his return from GREECE some days ago, British Services stated and attributed to Group Captain N. VILOS that he was accompanied by two members of the E.A.M. Organization in GREECE whom he was bringing over here on my instructions. In view of the fact that similar misunderstandings have occurred in the past, thus creating confusion to us, I am led to the unpleasant position of recording my protest and of asking for your intervention to ensure that similar misinterpretations will not recur in future. I take this opportunity to bring to your attention the point that, according to reliable and confirmed informa- tion, the same British Service is planning to effect the despatch of war-like material to the E.A.M. Organization soon. While this is by no means an indication that I disagree to the above action, I, however, feel that this is quite contrary to the spirit of the agreement reached, which has led to the formation of the ANGLO-GREEK COMMITTEE, the aim of which is to be informed beforehand of any action taken in GREECE, to ensure that decisions regarding the most useful execution of warfare may be taken in common. Very sincerely yours, S. VENIZELOS. H.E. Mr. Reginald Leeper, C.M.G., G.B.M., H.B.M.'s Ambassador to GREECE, CAIRO.
