MR RIPPON'S TOUR
WE HAVE BEEN GIVING SOME THOUGHT TO THE QUESTION OF WHETHER MR RIPPON SHOULD GIVE PRESENTS TO THOSE ON WHOM HE WILL BE
CALLING. THERE MAY BE A TACTICAL ADVANTAGE IN DOING SO, AND A FAILURE TO DO SO MIGHT CAUSE OFFENCE. BUT ON BALANCE WE SHOULD PREFER NOT TO INITIATE AN EXCHANGE OF PRESENTS,
2. WE SHOULD HOWEVER BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR ADVICE ON THIS AND, IF YOU CONSIDER A PRESENT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE, ON WHAT THIS SHOULD BE. WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS WILL BE A LONG TRIP, AND MR RIPPON'S LUGGAGE SPACE WILL BE RESTRICTED.
