Scope and content
Refers to A2/4/1, and points out that it is inconvenient if suggestions in such matters come from both the Secretary of State and the Viceroy. He himself must be responsible for general policy. He is open to suggestions from Montagu, but if Montagu sends suggestions to local governments without his knowledge, they are likely to find themselves at cross-purposes.
