Actually, reading the page as written:

Handwritten: Pinned to f.s.s.?
Correction to my approach: the handwritten annotation at top left reads as:
[handwritten: Pinned to Ens.?] — I cannot read it with confidence.
Final transcription:

Dear Mr Megaw
Your letter of 24th to the Resident Naval Officer has been forwarded to me. The man is the Electrical Officer of my ship and I am sorry that he made such a nuisance of himself at Enkomi. He himself denies the whole thing but as I have had similar cases of this sort of thing in the past I don't pay much attention to his denial. I have taken what we in the service call disciplinary action against him and can only apologise that my ship should be involved in such a disgraceful and disagreeable incident, and I hope and trust that no damage has been done
Yours sincerely
