Have just seen Kim Sullivan's teleletter 284/3 of 6 December to Jack Mallett, M V D. Grateful for 3 copies of William Ehrman's letter of 12 December 1975 (para 4 of tele- letter).

We are already being asked by the press about Hong Kong's reaction to the new romanization. The line we are taking at present is : "a harbour by any other name is just as fragant".
