Letter

Scope and Content

Letter from Lady Edwina Mountbatten to Auchinleck, asking his advice about a letter she has received from Singapore from the wife of a former member of the INA; reporting that she has consulted the Viceroy who has referred her to the Commander-in-Chief; and expressing her conviction that she must reply to Mrs Kiani, without becoming involved in controversy, because a personal appeal from one wife to another cannot be disregarded or dismissed with a bare official reply. Typescript.
