Reef 2 MAR 20,
Matter most urgent
Team.
yourReal deposit cannot be refunded if
agreement not completed. Unless deposit made by April
2nd agreement will be cancelled and conditions must be
modified greatly if negotiations resumed. Confidential. In view of unexpected developments caused by success of new Hotel at Repulse Bay circumstances have arisen
which completely alter the position and it is most
desirable that I should have free hand in order to secure
adequate quid pro quo
