will see

as you

from the attached, to

M. D.H. Reed of the Colonial office

ivi December 1965 but did not receive a reply.

Exactly what the records consist of and the work involved is outlined in the Crown Agent' letter

to Mr. Reed.

My initial impression is that

there is

no reason why we should not take the records over provided adequate storaguespace is available and Hong King agreed. I presume we should first find out what storaque facilities will be available in King Charles St. According to Mr. Arthur

the record's occupy a

py approximately J larque steel cabinets. The records are not contininally increasing

as

involume

I believe it is the practice that some of the Parker records are disposed of as later

ones are received.

If there is room

and we agree

to take over the files, we should then presumably have to let Home, kma know what we have in mino tosee if they agree.

I should be grateful for your

Comments.

25/9.
