Sir Peter Swinnerton-Dyer,
Thank you for your letter of 8 December.
Elspeth
and I enjoyed seeing you during your October visit, and
look forward to our next meeting.
In your letter, you asked whether British firms
might wish to contribute to part of the cost of the
Ningbo library. The British Overseas Trade Board have
asked the Sino-British Trade Council to sound out
discreetly a number of suitable British companies to see
if this might be feasible. We will come back to you when
we have the results of these enquiries.
We have kept the Office of Arts and Libraries
informed of your plans, but it will be the University
Grants Committee, under its Chairman, Sir Peter
Swinerton-Dyer, who will be able to provide you with
specific advice on the type and location of the proposed
library in the UK. Please do not hesitate to contact Sir
Peter, though I hope you will continue to keep us
informed here.
