From
Mr. Wilford

Copy to:

This letter, which I will ask you to keep off
the record, starts with the assumption that when you
(from guera
received your copy of Derek Jones'/letter/of
(GVA 3/5)
19 November/to Shaun Stewart (broadly on the subject
of Hong Kong's versus the UKM) your sentiments
were much the same as my own!
Although I admit that
I did not give this screed the detailed attention
which it may deserve I road enough
to come to
I reached the conclusion that it was part of a rather tedious,
and what is more unnecessary, argument.
Feelings on
both sides may not be so hard as some would conclude
from the tone of the correspondence.
Nevertheless
I decided that/the best contribution I could make
would be to try to bring it to a close.
I realize that to the extent that this
of
correspondence purports to be personal and unofficial
(to say nothing of the fact that Derek Jones is a
servant of the Hong Kong Government and not this Office)
I am not in a position to write to him with the simple
message that "this correspondence will now cease"
However, I am reasonably confident that action taken
by Hong Kong Department will bring about that result,
and I thought it worthwhile to tell you so.
