10. Dr Haas has also re-emerged from the shadows and asked Lord Goronwy-Roberts for a meeting. The Minister has declined but since Dr Haas is himself proposing to take some action (which is at the moment unspecified,) I shall be seeing him in a few days' time in an attempt to head him off.
11. Finally there is Miss Nightingale herself about whose prison conditions we have exchanged telegrams. It is obviously important that we should try to keep things quiet on this front in the coming weeks. We will do our best with Mrs Torry.
12. We wish you luck in your endeavours. If you have any comment to make on this letter before you embark on the next round please let me know. We shall of course be anxious to learn how you get on. Meanwhile we are putting our minds to drafting the clemency memorandum in which connection we have asked Hong Kong for information about the Chan trial and conviction and whether they yet have news on Yip and Lewis. You will see that the enclosed memorandum repeats the Hong Kong report that the Thais have issued a warrant for Yip's arrest and that we have asked you to check on this. I assume however that the report remains unconfirmed.
