in strict confidence to Sir Malcolm Robertson.
He was grateful for the information, but
thought it unnecessary to take any further
action so far as he himself was concerned.
The position seems to be that nothing has been
done in England since Mrs. Thompson left,
and she is not likely to have secured many
more exhibits by the 30th of June when the
time limit expires.
There is some prospect, so I am given
to understand, that the political situation in
be
China may make the excuse for postponing the
^
Exhibition altogether.
Meanwhile, I understand that Mrs. Thompson
will be back in Hong Kong by the time that this
letter reaches you.
Yours sincerely,
(Spd.) J.L. maffey
