3. Economic and politicals reforms in Hong Kong will attract support under Mr. Keswick's leadership.

4.Jardine, Matheson & Co. Ltd. was responsible for the ceding of Hong Kong to Great Britain as a Crown Colony and it will be unlikely that a member of the firm will preside over the liquidation of the same colony.

Mr. Keswick has heavy business commitments, and he will have to be drafted if you do think he will be the right choice for the honour.

I am, sir,

Yours respectfully
