UTION
FOR PRIVATE SECRETARY, GOVERNMENT HOUSE, FROM WILSON
YOUR TELNO 595: TDC DINNER
1.
I HAVE NO PRESENT NEED TO BE IN LONDON IN EARLY SEPTEMBER
AND THE LATTER PART OF THE MONTH IS, AS YOU POINT OUT, AWKWARD
BECAUSE OF THE LEGCO SPEECH. CONSEQUENTLY IT WILL BE BEST FOR
THE TDC TO PLAN ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT I WILL NOT (NOT) ATTEND
THEIR LONDON DINNER THIS YEAR. THAT MEANS THEY CAN CHOOSE A DATE
TO SUIT THEMSELVES.
2.
I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP OPN THE OPTION OF ATTENDING THE
SHANGHAI DINNER IN NOVEMBER.
3.
TENTATIVELY I AM THINKING OF RETURNING TO LONDON BRIEFLY
IN MID-JULY TO TAKE STOCK AND SEE PEOPLE BEFORE THE SUMMER BREAK.
ALSO OF TAKING TWO WEEKS LEAVE DURING AUGUST, PROBABLY WITHOUT
RETURNING TO THE UK, WHICH WILL HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF GIVING
PRIVATE OFFICE A BREAK. I SHOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER DETAILED
TIMINGS LATER, PROBABLY AFTER ARRIVAL.
