YRTELNO 2137: MY VISIT TO LONDON IN DECEMBER

·

1 I AM KEEN NOT TO LET 5 DECEMBER BECOME TOO HORRENDOUS. I WILL HAVE ARRIVED IN LONDON ONLY THAT MORNING AFTER AN OVERNIGHT

FLIGHT AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF INESCAPABLE AND IMPORTANT COMMITMENTS ALREADY IN THE PROGRAMME. I HOPE THEREFORE THAT YOU CAN FIND SOME WAY OF ARRANGING THE MEETING WITH SIR ALAN DONALD ON EITHER 6 OR 7 DECEMBER.

2. POSSIBLE TIMES FOR ME ARE:

(A) AT 5 PM ON 7 DECEMBER AFTER OUR ROUND-UP MEETING: OR

(B) AT ANY TIME AFTER 10 AM ON THE MORNING OF 6 DECEMBER, WITH MY VISIT TO EITHER THE HKGO OR THE OMELCO OFFICE BEING RE-ARRANGED:

OR

(C) IF NECESSARY, REPLACING THE MEETING WITH THE CHIEF CLERK ON THE AFTERNOON OF 6 DECEMBER. I SHOULD LIKE TO SEE JOHN BOYD BUT

MIGHT HAVE TO FORGO THIS IF THERE IS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE.

3. I HOPE THAT ONE OF THESE ALTERNATIVES WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR YOU

AND SIR ALAN DONALD.

WILSON
