I HOPE THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT
FUTURE FOR US TO MEET AGAIN.

4. FROM MR LUCE TO ZHOU NAN.
BEGINS: I VERY MUCH REGRET THAT AS A RESULT OF MY
APPOINTMENT AS MINISTER FOR THE ARTS AND THE CIVIL SERVICE I SHALL
NOT AFTERALL BE ABLE TO VISIT CHINA LATER THIS MONTH. I HAB BEEN
GREATLY LOOKING FORWARD TO RENEWING THE ACQUAINTANCE WE MADE DURING
THE VISIT OF PREMIER ZHAO ZIYANG AND TO THE STIMULATING DISCUSSIONS
WHICH I AM SURE WE WOULD HAVE HAD. I KNOW HOW MUCH HARD WORK YOU AND
AM SURE WE WOULD HAVE HAD. I KNOW HOW MUCH HARD WORK YOU AND YOUR
COLLEAGUES MUST HAVE PUT INTO MAKING ARRANGEMENTS FOR MY VISIT.
I AM SORRY TO HAVE HAD TO WITHDRAW WITH SO LITTLE NOTICE.
IT WILL ALWAYS BE A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT TO ME THAT DURING MY
TIME AT THE FOREIGN AND COMMONWEALTH OFFICE I WAS NOT ABLE TO
SEE SOMETHING OF YOUR COUNTRY. I VERY MUCH HOPE THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO DO SO BEFORE TOO LONG IN MY NEW CAPACITY.į
