1. Thank you very much for your letter of 21 November See (58) about Sir Philip Goodhart's proposal.
2. If I may say so, I think that the line which you took in conversation with Sir Philip was very helpful. I shall be letting Mr Luce know about Sir Philip's approach to you.
3. We have now received from Hong Kong a copy of the reply which Ossie Cheung has sent to Sir Philip. As you see it is polite but reasonably off-putting.
You
Dich
