YOUR TELEGRAM NO. 309: LORD SHEPHERD'S VISIT.

MORETON'S LETTER DID NOT MENTION ANY MEETING WITH URBAN COUNCIL

AND NO ARRANGEMENTS HAVE THEREFORE BEEN MADE. UNOFFICIAL MEMBERS

ARE HOWEVER MOST ANXIOUS TO MEET HIM AND HAVE ASKED FOR A THREE

HOUR MEETING. THIS WOULD, I THINK, BE VERY MUCH TOO LONG

AND DIFFICULT TO FIT IN. I SUGGEST THAT LORD SHEPHERD SHOULD

MEET THE URBAN COUNCIL FOR LUNCH ON THURSDAY 5TH JUNE AFTER AN

INFORMAL PRE-LUNCH DISCUSSION WITH UNOFFICIAL MEMBERS.

2.

GRATEFUL TO KNOW IF LORD SHEPHERD CONCURS.
