I am directed by the Hon. Minister of Internal Affairs to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 16th instant concerning your natural status.
In reply I have to advise that under the provision of the British Naturalization and Status of Aliens (in N.Z.) Amendment Act, 1916, which came into force on the 9th instant, you are regarded as being once more British and furthermore, you are deemed never to have lost your British nationality, this portion of the Act being retrospective of the date of marriage.
Yours faithfully, (signed) J W Heenan
Mrs. M.B. Soljak,
