Correspondence with Elsie Elliott

As promised in my telno 556 I enclose copies of the exchange, whose beginning you will recall. The indefatigable Mrs Elliott will undoubtedly continue:

(a)

(b)

to believe in the moral, if not the intellectual, corruption of the Hong Kong Government; and

to seek the last word.

I doubt if we can ever win with her. Even though we continue to rebut her allegations or ask her to substantiate them, a public debate of this sort will always favour the Mrs Elliotts of this world.

Unless you wish to be kept up to date, I shall not send further correspondence. In any event, as you can see from her latest letter, she is carrying the fight to Westminster.

yours,

Ken

(K. J. Woodhouse)

for Secretary for Security
