Letter from L.S. [Leo] Amery, Secretary of State for India, to Auchinleck, announcing that the Defence Committee has decided to include Iraq and Iran in Middle East Command against his advice; and expressing a wish to see Auchinleck back in India, from where it would be possible to command both Burma and the Middle East. Typescript, signed, with a holograph postscript.
[See AUC/795, below, which explains that this letter did not reach Auchinleck until April.]
