323 Department of External Affairs to Mr V. G. Bowden, Official Representative in Singapore

Cablegram 82 CANBERRA, 10 February 1942

SECRET MOST IMMEDIATE CLEAR THE LINE

We appreciate your difficulties but think you should stick to your
post.

Otherwise we shall be deprived of independent information and
effect on morale would be bad.

Will communicate again within twelve hours.

We deeply value what you have done for Australia and her soldiers
and we know you will continue to safeguard Australia's interests
whatever may befall. Very best wishes.
