I am sorry to trouble you, but I think that I am
right in saying that I spoke to you about the Prince of
Wales being asked if he would graciously send a message
to the Hong Kong University on the occasion of its
coming of age, and I think that you mentioned it to his
Private Secretary or someone, and said that it could
probably be arranged. I cannot, however, find your
letter, so if I am wrong, I should be very glad if you
would pass the suggestion on to the proper quarter.
The University comes of age on the 15th March, and
as Chancellor i should be most grateful if the Prince
would telegraph out a message to me as Chancellor, so as
to arrive say on the 14th March.
I suggest for the Prince's consideration something
like the following, "I offer to the University of
Hong
Kong, of which I have the privilege of being an Honorary
G. J. F. Tomlinson, Esq., C.B.E.,
