The foregoing has been written not only with the idea of recording the present state of affairs as regards my position as an official Artist of the Commonwealth but chiefly with the honest desire to get at a workable plan under way which would enable the Commonwealth to reap the utmost produce for its undertaking outlay.

I beg therefore that you will place this letter and the accompanying memorandum & the accompanying letter before the High Commissioner urging the necessity for immediate action.
