I HAD A WORD WITH DICK CLIFT WHEN I WAS IN LONDON ABOUT THE VISIT OF DR DAVID OVEN AND CONFIRMED THAT THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM ABOUT DR OWEN CHANGING THE DATES OF HIS STAY AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE FROM 24/25 AUGUST TO 31 AUGUST/2 SEPTEMBER.

2. I WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD TELL HIS OFFICE THAT 1 WILL GLADLY ARRANGE A LUNCH OR DINNER FOR HIM

ON 1 SEPTEMBER IF HE WOULD LIKE THIS AND INVITE TO IT ANYONE IN HONG KONG HE WOULD LIKE TO MEET. IT MAY BE THAT DICK CLIFT HAS ALREADY BEEN IN TOUCH WITH HIM OR HIS OFFICE ABOUT HIS PLANS HERE. IF SO I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD LET ME KNOW BY TELEGRAM. I ALSO WROTE TO DR OWEN ON 22 JULY AND MAYBE A REPLY TO MY LETTER IS ON THE WAY.
