tekst, getypt: 21st July, 1942. // Dear Captain Broere, // I was shocked to hear that the "TANIMBAR" had // been sunk and regret that some of the crew are still // missing. I trust we need not entirely abandon hope // that they may yet be safe. // I hope that those members of the crew who were // injured are now recovering, and that neither you or any other member of the ship's company is now any the worse // for your unfortunate experience. // Yours sincerely, // [handtekening in inkt] // Minister of War Transport.
