Dear Denis,
I said I would let you have a note of the detailed travel arrangements for my wife and myself on our visit to China and Australia in September. Here is the programme which we have provisionally drawn up:

Leave Paris Orly
Flight No. AF 178
18.05
Arrive Shanghai
Stay night in Shanghai
Sept. 1 Saturday

near
Sopt. 12
Wodnenday
arrive
By train to Pekin. Arrive Pekin either on
the evening of September 2, or the morning of September 3.
Stay in Pekin 3 or 4 days.
The itinerary for which we have asked the
Chinese Government, but to which we have not yet received their agreement, and have indeed been told that we will not be able to know definitely until we arrive in Pekin, is as follows:
Hsi-An (possibly by train) and stay there, perhaps
with a side trip to
Yenan, which is of some recent historical interest
From Hsi-An we would like to go to
Chung King and stay there for a day or two. Then
proceed down the Yangtse, if possible by boat through the gorges to
Wuhan, doing a trip from there to Mao's birthplace
Chang Sha.
From there to
Canton and out to
Hong Kong some time during the day
