Suitable bundla With the New Year upon me
I think it is time I started reading books about Hong Kong. I should be most grateful if you could have someone send me a bundle. On the whole I would prefer, at this stage, not to go into more detail than is in the Year Book, which I hope will be included in the bundle. But I imagine there are now a fair assortment of histories and papers about Hong Kong of one sort and another which would help me to brush up on fact and also recover the atmosphere, in advance of getting down to serious briefing in May.
