REQUISITIONING OF SHIPS ORDER, 1969
Many thanks for your letter of 6th September.
Would it be possible for you to let me know who in the Hong Kong Department will be handling their review of the order, so that I can write to him in due course to enquire progress? Also, do you know when they hope to get round to this? I am not suggesting it should be given any priority, but just enquiring so that I can arrange for our file to be brought to me at an appropriate time.
It would also be helpful if you could let me know who will be taking Dalby Wickson's place, in case I have occasion to write to him.
Yours sincerely
тый
