WE LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING

2. IN OUR TELEGRAM WE SAID WE WOULD BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU ABOUT ACCOMMODATION. IN THE CRAMPED CONDITIONS OF PEKING NONE OF US IS BLESSED WITH A SPARE BEDROOM. SO YOUR OPTIONS ARE THE SE: 1) SUE PETERS WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO PUT YOU UP ON HER SOFA. 11) ROD WYE, WHOM I ASSUME YOU KNOW, WILL BE CAMPING IN KIM SULLIVAN'S FLAT. ONLY ONE BEDROOM BUT TWO BEDS WILL BE OPERATIONAL 111) ALTERNATIVELY WE COULD BOOK YOU INTO A HOTEL.

BUT PEKING BEING PEKING WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN THAT IT WILL

BE THE PEKING HOTEL, WHICH IS NEAREST AND MOST COMFORTABLE.

3. PERHAPS YOU COULD CONSIDER THE SE POSSIBILITIES AND LET US KNOW YOUR PREFERENCE.

CO HUM
