Your telegram No 2. No sextant was found. Only part discovered was thrown away by finder but was probably part of an inverting eyepiece.

No. 4439.
6th June, 1941.
Dear Commander Nasmyth,
With reference to our telephone conversation relative to the identification of a sextant and box which I mentioned as having been found and which you were so good as to say you would examine, I regret to state that on further examination it was discovered that no sextant had actually been found but only a box thought to have contained a sextant.
I am forwarding the box to you with this letter and His Excellency would be grateful if you would examine it with a view to determining its use and origin if possible.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed) H. Vaskess
Secretary to the High Commission
Commander G.B. Nasmyth, F.R.Met.Soc.,

The Secretary
With reference to paragraph 2 of (34), I have examined the contents of the parcel mentioned. Apart from stating that they appear to be parts of shoes worn by a male person and a female person, I have nothing further to say.
Those corks on brass chains would appear to have belonged to a small cask.
