PEKING TELNO 301: FUTURE EGRET: MR LUCE'S VISIT TO HONG KONG

1.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR MESSAGE.

IT IS VERY GOOD OF YOU TO

PUT ME UP. I AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF I STAYED ON FOR

A LITTLE AFTER MR LUCE'S DEPARTURE.

I AM NOW PLANNING TO TAKE

CX201, ETD HONG KONG ON WEDNESDAY 29 FEBRUARY AT 2240. THIS WILL

GIVE PART OF THE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND ALL OF WEDNESDAY FOR WORK

IN HONG KONG. I SHOULD LIKE TO STAY LONGER BUT HAD BETTER GET

BACK TO LONDON AFTER THAT.

2.

DAVID WILSON AND I WILL ARRIVE ON BA3 AT 1120 ON

SATURDAY 25 FEBRUARY.
