Scope and content
(i) The general situation is satisfactory, though not everything is cleared up. He is thinking out a policy for restoring friendly relations with those who have had no part in stimulating recent troubles, when order has been fully restored, but it would be premature to discuss it at present.
(ii) 'At the proper time both punishment and restoration will be very difficult to deal longviewedly with.'
((i) is typed. (ii) is a handwritten reply on the same sheet, used for transmission.)
