1. AS YOU WILL HAVE SEEN (MY TELNOS 1233-34) WE ARE PROPOSING THAT MR. GOODLAD SHOULD LEAVE HONG KONG ON THE EVENING OF THURSDAY, 28 MAY. ON THAT BASIS, WE HAVE SCHEDULED A MEETING BETWEEN YOU AND THE MINISTER THAT MORNING.
2. WE WILL ARRANGE USUAL MEDICAL CHECK-UP. I WOULD ALSO WELCOME THE CHANCE TO HAVE A SEPARATE SESSION WITH YOU ON 29 MAY. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO WHILE YOU ARE HERE. WILL SUE BE WITH YOU QUERY.
3.
YOU ARE OF COURSE WELCOME TO STAY AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE. BUT WE HAVE AN AMATEUR DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE TAKING PLACE IN THE BALLROOM ON THE EVENINGS OF BOTH 28 AND 29 MAY. YOU MIGHT THEREFORE FIND IT MORE CONVENIENT IF YOU COULD ARRANGE TO BE OUT ON THOSE EVENINGS. THERE WILL ALSO BE CONSIDERABLE CHAOS OVER THE WEEKEND AS WE SHALL BE SORTING OUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE PACKED IN ADVANCE TO GO BY SEA TO BE IN THE UK IN TIME FOR OUR RETURN AND NATASHA LEAVES FOR THE STATES ON 1 JUNE. SADLY, CHANCES ARE THAT WE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE MUCH OVER THE WEEKEND TO ENTERTAIN YOU
AS WE WOULD NORMALLY LIKE TO DO.
