will be visiting you in October (and incidentally I shall be accompanying him) We think it would be

first half of September. Would that be convenient
to you? If so, he would leave here on Tuesday,
1 September and stay in Hong Kong as long as you could
usefully occupy him. But we would like him back here
14 by 15 September at the latest.
