Dear John,
Thank you for your letter of 27 December about the issue of a Gandhi commemorative stamp which we are pleased to see you are now able to agree to. We are most grateful to you for this.
From what I hear, your announcement about the new stamp has already aroused public interest.
SHEPHERD
THE RT. HON. JOHN STONEHOUSE, MP.
