FROM SIR DAVID WILSON
TO MR RICHARD HOARE, PRIVATE SECRETARY, GOVERNMENT HOUSE
YOUR LETTER OF 16 FEBRUARY: MISCELLANEOUS POINTS FOR ARRIVAL
1.
THANK YOU FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND FOLDER ABOUT STAFF. BOTH VERY USEFUL. 2.
CARS. I AM CONSIDERING FURTHER WHETHER TO BRING A CAR FOR NATASHA OR BUY ONE ON ARRIVAL. I TAKE THE POINT ABOUT TAX. A PRECEDENT WOULD BE LADY MACLEHOSE BUT YOUR POINT HAS FORCE REGARDLESS OF PRECEDENTS.
3.
RUNNING. I NORMALLY RUN FOR A SHORT TIME ONLY (10-20 MINUTES) MOST EVENINGS IF CAN. 1 HOPE GOVERNMENT HOUSE GROUNDS WILL PROVE ADEQUATE MOST OF THE TIME. I WILL ALSO BRING WITH ME SOME EXERCISE KIT JUST IN CASE. IF THE ABERDEEN POLICE TRAINING SCHOOL IS ONLY EIGHT MINUTES AWAY, I MIGHT OCCASIONALLY USE THAT. IN SUCH A CASE WOULD EXPECT NO FORMALITY ON ARRIVAL. I WOULD NOT MIND BEING ACCOMPANIED BY A POLICE INSPECTOR NOR RUNNING ON MY OWN. AN ALTERNATIVE, WHICH I HAVE USED ON RECENT VISITS TO HONG KONG, IS TO RUN UP OLD PEAK ROAD FROM TREGUNTER TO THE TOP TRAM STATION. IF I DID THIS I ASSUME WOULD HAVE TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PROTECTION OFFICER. AS STANLEY. 4.

I
WOULD NOT GO AS FAR AWAY
PHOTOGRAPHS. (A) I WILL TRY TO OBTAIN AND SEND THE NEGATIVES USED AT THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF MY APPOINTMENT. (B) THE FAMILY GROUP NEGATIVES HAVE ALREADY BEEN TAKEN TO HONG KONG BY PAUL BROWN. I HAVE JUST RECEIVED THE PRINTS AND AM ABOUT TO DECIDE WHICH ARE TOLERABLE AND WHICH NOT. I WILL TELL THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT OFFICE HERE WHICH ONES THEY CAN USE. (C) I WOULD PREFER OFFICIAL PORTRAITS OF BOTH NATASHA AND MYSELF TO BE TAKEN AFTER ARRIVAL IN A HONG KONG SETTING.
