Your UNY70 [1] and UNY71. [2]

I must say I do not feel much sympathy with the telegram UNY71. I
think that Brookes should remain with Kirby during latter's
assignment. I understand that Brookes was appointed on your own
decision. He was certainly a stranger to me but I was impressed
with his integrity and ability. Burton is more conversant with the
situation than I, and it would be unwise to deprive Kirby of
Brookes' experience. In circumstance I would postpone any action
... If Brookes exceeds ordinary functions it must be remembered
that situation is unique one and I must say I do not like
continual interference with man on the spot who is loyally serving
Australia's interests. Please show this telegram to Burton and the
Minister. Kind regards.
