I HAVE OPENED YOUR LETTER OF 24 AUGUST IN DAVID REDDAWAY'S

ABSENCE ON LEAVE.

2. IN PRINCIPLE, ROBIN MCLAREN WOULD ACCOMPANY LORD GLENARTHUR ON ALL IMPORTANT VISITS. HE WOULD LIKE TO RETAIN A DEGREE OF FLEXIBILITY IN HIS PLANS, PARTICULARLY WITH THE LESS IMPORTANT VISITS. THIS WOULD ALLOW HIM SOME TIME TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AS

NECESSARY WITH THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT.

3. WE WILL REPLY TO YOUR KIND OFFER TO ARRANGE FOR YOUR TAILOR

TO CALL WHEN THE MINISTER RETURNS TO THE OFFICE NEXT WEEK.
