Your letter inviting me to the proposed Conference on the future of our small dependent territories arrived on Saturday. Thank you very much for inviting me but I an afraid that I will not be able to come as I expect to be away then. In addition I do not think that I would have much to contribute as I an not now concerned with the issue.
