Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your No. 319, of the 28th ultimo, reporting that, owing to cabinet changes, the release of Frank Freitas has been delayed.

In reply I have to say that your action in pressing for a prompt consideration of the case is approved. If Freitas has not been released when this instruction reaches you, you will bring the case to the attention of the minister of foreign affairs again as one which has already been too long delayed.

I am, etc.,
