1. Although it is over three weeks since I left Hong Kong, I have only just returned to London following a week's
'familiarisation' in China and two weeks' leave in South- East Asia. This accounts for the delay in my writing to you as the most appropriate representative of the Hong Kong Government to express my thanks for the first-rate programme which was arranged for me and for the courtesy and enthusiasm with which I was received throughout my visit. John Curle and his people, in particular, could not have been more helpful and the entire programme was executed with blinding efficiency.
