YOUR POSTING TO HONG KONG

290

1. Many thanks for your letter of June. It is very good indeed to be back in touch. We shall have a lot of business to do together, and I look forward to that.

2.

We will put in hand a programme on the lines you set out, and I will fax you details later. Meanwhile, in order to get some reading to you before you come, I am enclosing the set of papers we prepared for new Ministers together with our basic background briefing on Hong Kong, and some further papers which we have prepared more recently for Mr Patten.

3.

We can discuss all this when you get here.

Ye

ever
