YOUR TELEGRAM NO 40: MR RENTON'S VISIT

ル

سلام

1. I SEE NO POSSIBILITY OF ARRANGING A MEETING BETWEEN MR RENTON AND

THE STAFF AND THEIR WIVES AT THE HOUSE ON EITHER THE SATURDAY

OR THE MONDAY. THE PROGRAMMES FOR THESE DAYS ARE ALREADY VERY

TIGHT. I SHALL ONLY HAVE ONE COOK AND ONE WAITER IN THE HOUSE

ON THE SUNDAY, WHICH IS NOT ENOUGH TO CATER FOR THE 48 MEMBERS OF

THE HOME-BASED STAFF AND 28 WIVES.

2. IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, I SHOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE OTHER

POSSIBILITIES (EG A MEETING ON SUNDAY EVENING IN THE EMBASSY

SOCIAL CLUB) WITH MR RENTON AFTER HIS ARRIVAL.
