I am, extremely sorry to have to tell you that a number of very difficult internal and international
problems has forced on me a decision that I cannot
leave London in January. I must with great regret therefore inform you that I shall have to postpone
the visit to China fixed for early next month to
which I had so much been looking forward. I much
regret the inconvenience which this will cause to
you personally and to your colleagues and to all
those who have been involved in the preparations for
my visit.
I greatly hope that in the not too distant
future it will be possible to rearrange my visit since
I keenly await the opportunity not only to meet you
personally but to discuss with you the many problems
of common interest to both our countries.
