Thank you for your letter of 8 June 1982.

It did not come as a complete surprise, however, but it was your idea in the first place so we naturally responded, as always, to any opportunity to persue likely resettlement prospects. As you will know, we have also written separately to Dick Clift about two ship rescue

cases.

3.

My only further thought is to wonder whether your contacts with the Home Office are really being made at a sufficiently high level; but of course this is for you to determine.

4.

Look forward to seeing you in Hong Kong soon for, as the telegram puts it, a 'working breakfast'!

(J. R. Heywood)
