My dear Chief:

Please allow me, on behalf of the Departmental officials and myself, to offer you my heartiest and cordial congratulations upon the high honour that His Majesty, King George, has been pleased to confer upon you in awarding you the British Empire Medal on the occasion of the celebration of His Majesty's birthday.

It is my sincere hope that you will enjoy long life, good health and prosperity to wear the decoration bestowed upon you.

Yours very truly,

Director of Indian Affairs
