1.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TELNO 126, WHICH REACHED US THIS MORNING AFTER THE LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND HERE.

2. HC DOES NOT RETURN FROM MTL UNTIL EARLY ON 22 MAY. HOWEVER, I AM SURE THAT HE WOULD BE ONLY TOO PLEASED TO LOOK AFTER THE PATTENS FROM 6-9 JULY AND THAT IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO ARRANGE A SUITABLE PROGRAMME.

3

WE SHALL REVERT WITH SUGGESTIONS FOR A PROGRAMME AS SOON AS

POSSIBLE AFTER HC'S RETURN.
