FOR PRIVATE SECRETARY, GOVERNMENT HOUSE, FROM WILSON

PATRONAGE: HONG KONG GIRL GUIDES ASSOCIATION

1.

NATASHA HAS RECEIVED THROUGH THE MAIL A LETTER FROM LADY

AKERS-JONES AS CHIEF COMMISSIONER INVITING HER TO BECOME

PRESIDENT OF THE GIRL GUIDES ASSOCIATION. ORIGINAL FOLLOWS TO

YOU BY BAG.

2.

I THINK IT IS BEST TO RESPOND FORMALLY TO THIS AT THE SAME

TIME AS OTHER PATRONAGE SUGGESTIONS AFTER WE ARRIVE IN HONG KONG

ALTHOUGH NATASHA WILL, I AM SURE, BE HAPPY TO ACCEPT ON THE

ASSUMPTION THAT THERE IS NO LOCAL ADVICE TO THE CONTRARY.

3.

COULD YOU PLEASE GIVE AN INFORMAL INTERIM RESPONSE TO

LADY AKERS-JONES ON THESE LINES.

HOWE
