Mr. T. K. Bewley, of the British Supply Council in North America, to the Assistant Secretary of State (Acheson)

Washington, August 2, 1941.

Dear Dean: This is to let you know that my government has now proposed to the Chinese Government the appointment of Mr. Hall Patch⁴⁶ as British member of the Stabilisation Board and that this proposal has been accepted by the Chinese Government.

The appointment would be on a temporary basis and the more permanent appointment would no doubt be the subject of discussion with Sir O. E. Niemeyer.

I have also informed Mr. Cochran⁴⁷ of the appointment.

Yours sincerely,

T. K. Bewley

46. Financial Adviser of the British Embassy in China until 1939.
47. H. Merle Cochran, Technical Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury.
