[NOT PASSED BY 0.0.D.]
1. I AM ENORMOUSLY GRATEFUL FOR THE EXTENSION HERE OF CRANE
*
AND HIS TEAM. IT WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US FINISHING THE JOB AND LEAVING IT IN THE AIR. I REALISE HOW INCONVENIENT THIS CHANGE OF PLAN MUST HAVE BEEN TO YOUR DEPART-
MENT AND TO SCOTLAND YARD.
2. WE HAVE CONE FIRM ON MAJOR-GENERAL PURDON FOR DEPUTY COMMISSIONER ADMINISTRATION. HE HAS A PLAN OF THE REVISED HEADQUARTERS SET-UP OF WHICH HE WILL TAKE COMMAND. TO YOUR PROFESSIONAL EYE, THIS WOULD SHOW YOU AT A GLANCE THE FIELDS HE WILL HAVE TO COVER. I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL IF YOU
COULD ARRANGE FOR HIM:
A. TO HAVE A FEW DAYS BRIEFING ON EACH SUBJECT, AND
B. WHEN HE HAS ACQUIRED A NODDING ACQUAINTANCE WITH THESE SUBJECTS A SERIES OF ONE DAY VISITS TO PROVINCIAL POLICE FORCES
SO AS TO COMPARE NOTES.
THE HONG KONG COMMISSONER, BRAY (TEL 499-9821), WILL GET IN TOUCH WITH PURDON FOR YOU AND ARRANGE FOR HIM TO CALL AT YOUR
CONVENTENCE.
