EXOD342 Rules Regarding an Envoy. Rashi writes: "The Torah teaches us derech eretz--do not think that if the one who sent you knows of your deeds, you are no longer obligated to inform him [of the completion of your assignment]. This is the meaning of the verse, '… and Moshe relayed the people's word to Hashem" [this verse]. This obligation certainly applies if the person who sent the envoy does not know if the assignment was completed according to his instructions. Thus, in order to avoid causing undue worry to the person who appointed him, derech eretz would require the envoy to contact him.
