FINALLY, ON A SOMEWHAT MORE PERSONAL NOTE, ON PREVIOUS VISITS TO HONG KONG I HAVE DONE GOOD BUSINESS ON THE SHIRT FRONT WITH MEE YEE (IN I THINK STANLEY STREET). IN THE PREVIOUS GOVERNOR'S PERIOD, THEY USED TO COME TO GOVERNMENT HOUSE. WOULD THEY STILL BE WILLING TO DO THAT EARLY ONE OF THE EVENINGS TO MAKE ME SOME
MORE SHIRTS I WONDER?
5. MANY THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP. AS I SAY IF ONE OR TWO PEOPLE DROP OUT FROM THE PROGRAMME I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE WORTH LOOKING FOR SUBSTITUTES OTHER THAN THOSE MENTIONED ABOVE: A LITTLE BIT MORE ELBOW ROOM IN THE PROGRAMME MIGHT NOT BE A BAD
THING. I AM HAPPY TO HAVE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY EVENINGS AND SATURDAY AFTERNOON FREE TO DO A BIT OF WANDERING ABOUT HONG KONG MYSELF. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IN TEN DAYS TIME.
