Sat, 7 Nov 1942
Sir Vandeleur Grayburn (codename: Night) writes to Douglas Clague of the British Army Aid Group. He describes the situation in the wake of the Fenwick/Morrison escape - the Kempeitai want to intern all bankers, but the Foreign Affairs Office and the Finance Department oppose this, as they still need their help.
He reports that the younger men in Stanley will have to sleep in the prison, even though this was only announced in camp yesterday.
