3. In the meantime, I would be grateful if two full sets of the London daily and Sunday papers, 3 spare copies of The Times and The Telegraph (or Sunday Times and Sunday Telegraph) and a copy of The Scotsman could be sent out to the appropriate Post to arrive on the day of publication. Packages should be addressed c/o The British High Commission (New Delhi) Governor's Office (Hong Kong) and British Embassy, (Bangkok, Seoul and Tokyo) as the case may be.
4. We have found that it is a waste of time and money if the arrival time of the papers at a particular Post is within a few hours of the Secretary of State's departure from it, as aircraft are often late in
In such cases it is much arriving (especially over long distances).
more satisfactory to despatch the newspapers to await arrival at the next Post.
5. I should be grateful for flight details and way bill numbers in due course, and may I say how much this service of yours is appreciated by all of us. I am copying this letter to those concerned in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
