Letter from Ronald Adam, British Council, Hanover Street, London to Howard Walter Florey Foreign Office say they have explained to the Brazilians why it was impossible to allow Florey to receive a decoration and cannot re-open the matter - does not think there would be difficulty about getting permission for the Legion of Honour if the French government approached the Foreign Office - his own views about foreign decorations do not agree with those of the Foreign Office. 23 January 1947
