You will by now already have had a telegram saying that the party intend to travel out to Hong Kong by BA 920 on the 17 April, and to leave there for Tokyo on the 20 April by JLO 62. They
will all, except Mr. J. Murray, leave Tokyo for London on 23 April by BA 851, departing Tokyo at 22.15 hours. James Murray, I gather, may be staying on for a day or two, but will be writing separately about these arrangements.
