Mr. Hall

I received a cable from Dr. Ride, the Vice- Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong as follows:

J

"Request you make application Colonial Office advance One Hundred Thousand Pounds (£100,000) in accordance with general scheme outline û by Gordon Brown Stop This sum should be deposited Hong Kong Shanghai Bank, Gracechurch Street Stop Shipment Belgian steel confirmed as earlier delivery date for steel now promised matter is urgent and payment must be almost immediate Stop"

I do not know if you can regard this as an official request on which action could now be taken. I hope it will be possible for you to do

SO.
