The Rt. Hon. James Callaghan, M.P.,

No. 10 Downing Street,

London, S. W. 1.

Dear Mr. Callaghan,

I so enjoyed the opportunity of meeting you in March and, as a souvenir of the occasion, would be most happy if you would accept this white jade "Joo-i" from my private collection as a personal gift from me.

This sceptre which, in Chinese mythology means "May all your desires be fulfilled, is also an emblem of longevity and is said to have. magical properties. It signifies authority and conveys good wishes for the happiness and prosperity of the recipient - a sentiment which I heartily endorse.

Sincerely yours,

PR

Lawrence Kadoorie.
