Colonial Office,

The Church House,

Great Smith Stroet,

London, S.W.1.

22nd February, 1950.

This is just a line to thank you for your letter of the 13th January about the proposal for an Economic and Social Survey of the New Territories, which has reached me after a month's absence from the Office. I am now busily engaged in picking up the threads of things that have been happening while I have been away.

We will certainly arrange for a discussion with Barrow and Nicoll when the former arrives, and do our best to obtain whatever guidance we can to help you with the Survey.

With kindest regards.

Sir A. Grantham, K.C.M.G.
