Dear Mr Patten,

I was delighted to learn that you are to become Governor of Hong Kong and for the responsible task that has been given to you I offer my congratulations and best wishes.

You will know that there is a significant Catholic presence in Hong Kong and for this reason I should like to have the chance to talk to you and share some ideas which might be useful to you in your work.

Is it possible for you to join me for lunch here at the Nunciature if your schedule is not too overloaded? You would be certainly. most welcome and if you are agreeable might I ask you to ring me

at your convenience.

I look forward to hearing from you.

With kindest regards and renewed good wishes,

Mr Christopher Patten, 47, Morpeth Mansions,

Morpeth Terrace,

LONDON

Yours sincerely,
