Alexandra next spring.

and the length of the visit you would like her to suggest

make. I am sorry that we omitted to make this
clear earlier.

It would be as well if we were
to offer, say three specific sets of dates as
alternatives. April would appear to offer a clear
vi (apart from the Queen's Birthday) and we might
perhaps offer two sets of dates during that month
with a third/at the end of March or during May.
However, this is for you to decide.

We are, of course, aware that the main reason
for the visit is connected with H.R.H.'s appointment
as Commandant General of the Royal Hong Kong Police
Force.
