Scope and content

Requests SZ to expedite a report on attacks on railway targets. A test was going to be carried out on Pantelleria with an unfused 4,000 lb. bomb. Wellington bombers would be dropping bombs on suitable targets near the front line. Wheeler hoped to visit SZ in Palermo and bring Knight for "a few hours of luxury and overeating".
