Any person desiring to make a claim on the funds should communicate with the District Repatriation Officer at Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, or Dunedin, to whom I have issued full instructions. Thanking you in an- .. ticipation, I am. Sir, Yours faithfully, J. R. SAMSON, Director of Repatriation.
