SUBJECT:
In Confidence
I was most sad to learn that you will shortly be leaving
Britain on the termination of your appointment as
Ambassador. The frequent occasions on which we have met,
in the context of the close relations between our
countries and the large number of high-level visits in
each direction, have given me the opportunity to
establish a personal relationship which I have much
enjoyed and which I shall greatly miss.
Enclosures flag(s)
Before you leave London, I should very much like the
opportunity to arrange a small dinner party to bid you
and your wife farewell. However, as I am sure you will
realise, the demands on my timetable do not permit such
pleasant recreation before 11 June. I have therefore set
aside the date of Thursday 25 June, which I hope you
might also be able to reserve. At the moment, however, I
am unable to issue any formal invitations in advance of
the General Election.
