Powell informs BR that he notified Sir K.S. Krishnan and General Sokhey about the meeting date and location being changed from India, as per the initial proposal, to Nova Scotia in July, and that should this meeting be successful it is hoped that they could approach the Indian authorities.

Sokhey wrote to Powell advising him to contact Nehru, informing him of their decision and its reasons. Powell has drafted a letter to Nehru, which he encloses for BR's approval and to send (not present).
