FROM LORD SHEPHERD.
4/ YOUR TELNO 1225.
MANY THANKS FOR YOUR PROMPT REPLY. I AM VERY SORRY TO SAY THAT ! HAVE TO LEAVE ON WEDNESDAY FOR JAMAICA FOR A FURTHER MEETING WITH THE CARIBBEAN COMMONWEALTH MINISTERS ON THE PROBLEM OF ST. KITTS AND ANGUILLA. I HAD HOPED THAT THE CONFERENCE IN BARBADOS AT THE END OF LAST MONTH HAD PRODUCED A SOLUTION, BUT UNFORTUNATELY FURTHER DISCUSSIONS ARE NECESSARY. I THEN PROPOSE TO GO ON TO NEW YORK FOR SOME UNITED NATIONS MATTERS.
2. I AM SORRY THIS HAS HAPPENED, BUT IT MEANS THAT I CANNOT NOW GET OUT TO HONG KONG THIS MONTH AND IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES I THINK WE OUGHT PERHAPS TO STICK TO A VISIT IN THE SECOND HALF OF OCTOBER.
