The letter states'that Mr Paterson discussed the matter fully with Mr Coates last November, and quotes Mr Patersons letter to Mr Coates on November 8, suggesting that the only course open to the writer was to continue the work as opportunity offered, for such modification of the machinery of Control as might mitigate the bad results he feared, and for breaking down the prevailing hostility to New Zealand dairy produce, also the re-establishment of goodwill and co-operation in all branches of the dairy produce trade in this country, to which Mr Coates agreed.
It also quotes a letter to Mr Coates on December 28, stating that he would consent to carry on his duties as long as he had Mr Coates’ confidence, of which Mr Coates assured him. He also expressed a wish that he carry on, with the understanding that Mr Paterson should continue the policy outlined as November 8, which policy had since been scrupulously followed.
