Mr Ricketts

PS/Mr Patten

FROM: E L Williams

Hong Kong Department

DATE: June 1992

LETTER TO MR PATTEN FROM DR MARGARET LEICESTER

1. I attach a draft reply from Mr Patten to Dr Leicester's

letter of 5 May.

2.

The reply is simple and brief, as it would be unwise for

Mr Patten to be drawn into discussion of the policy issues

Dr Leicester raises, before he has taken up the

Governorship.
