WOULD BE MOST WELCOME TO VISIT THIS COUNTRY AS MY GUEST
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE START OF YOUR EUROPEAN TOUR. IT WOULD
GIVE ME GREAT PLEASURE TO INVITE YOU TO SPEND THE DAY AT
CHEVENING, MY OFFICIAL RESIDENCE IN THE COUNTRY, ON SATURDAY 10
MAY BEFORE TRAVELLING ON TO HELSINKI. I REALISE THAT THIS WOULD
REQUIRE RE-ARRANGEMENT OF YOUR TRAVEL PLANS: BUT THE HOUSE IS NOT
FAR FROM GATWICK AIRPORT AND WE COULD TALK THERE IN A RELAXED
ATMOSPHERE. THIS WOULD BE MY PREFERRED CHOICE.
4.
AN ALTERNATIVE POSSIBILITY WOULD BE TO MEET IN BRUSSELS.
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WILL BE THERE ON 23 MAY AND IF YOUR
PROGRAMME PERMITTED I COULD TRAVEL ACROSS FOR A MEETING.
5.
PERHAPS YOU WOULD LET ME KNOW YOUR REACTION TO THESE
SUGGESTIONS. I SHALL BE VERY PLEASED IF YOUR VISIT TO EUROPE
PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO MEET AGAIN. ENDS
