DEATH PENALTY:
1.
HONG KONG
I attach a letter which I have received from the Governor and the draft of a reply which I will send him, if you agree. 2. The reply may risk being too frank in its assessment of intentions in London, but it is important that the Governor should be able to rely on us for absolute honesty. Now that the "Carpet" series of letters has ended, I think the responsibility
devolves on officials.
