I am sorry
it has taken so long to reply
to your telegram no. 285 about Lord Shepherd's visit,
but there have been continuing uncertainties about
dates and details.which have only just been resolved.
One of these was whether Lady Shepherd would be
accompanying the Minister but it has now been
finally decided that she will not. He will
however be accompanied by his Private Secretary,
Charles Godden, and myself. Lord Shepherd and Godden will be arriving by PANAM flight no. P.A.2
Friday
from Rangoon at 4.45 p.m. on the
the 31st. I shall
be flying straight from London by flight no. BA.920 arriving at .3:20 pr.

days private visit to Singapore from 6 to 8 June.
He hopes very much that it will be possible,
without great inconvenience to you, for him to
stay in Hong Kong and fly straight to Djakarta
on the 8th by flight no. GA 983 leaving at 15.25 hours. 3.Lord Shepherd's visit to Hong Kong
will be in the middle of a strenuous five weeks
tour and he would therefore like it to be as
relaxed and informal as possible.
He is anxious
