MOUNTBATTEN
(Earl Louis of Burma, 1900-1979, Admiral of the Fleet)
Fine Typed Letter Signed (‘Dickie') with autograph salutation and subscription to “My dear Malcolm”, MACDONALD
(1901-1981, Politician and Diplomat) saying that “although you only came to South East Asia at the very end of my time, I felt it might interest you to have a copy of the Report which I have submitted on South East Asia to the Combined Chiefs of Staff, since it covers the immediate post-war phase not only in Malaya, but in the whole of South East Asia. I am therefore sending you a copy which please keep if you want to, provided you appreciate that it has not yet been approved by the Combined Chiefs of Staff who might wish to cut out certain passages. Although I am sorry that your partnership with Miles is to be broken up, you will see from foot-note 15... that I have always held the view that only a single very high official was required in South East Asia. I have send Miles a copy... and a copy perhaps for the use of the Defence Committee or Joint Planning Staff in Singapore...”, 1 side A4, The Viceroy’s House crossed out, Government House, New Delhi, 22nd October
