2. THE KING'S PRINCIPAL PRIVATE SECRETARY HAS TOLD ME THAT THE KING IS FAVOURABLY DISPOSED TOWARDS GRANTING LORD GLENARTHUR AN AUDIENCE. HE THINKS THOUGH THAT IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE MINISTER TO CALL ON THE FOREIGN MINISTER AND PRIME MINISTER FIRST. A SPECIFIC TIME HAS NOT YET BEEN SUGGESTED, BUT THE AFTERNOON OF 29 FEBRUARY LOOKS A POSSIBILITY.
3.
MANY THANKS FOR YOUR KIND OFFER TO BRING ANY PERSONAL ITEMS WITH YOU. I F IT WERE NOT TOO MUCH TROUBLE, A DOZEN TENNIS BALLS (READILY OBTAINABLE IN HONG KONG) WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
