YOUR TELNO 23 AND FCO TELNO 321 TO PEKING: KONG BY MR GOODLAD

PROPOSED VISIT TO HONG

1.

IT IS MOST KIND OF YOU TO INVITE ME TO STAY IF THE IDEA OF MY GOING TO HONG KONG DURING MR GOODLAD'S VISIT IS AGREED.

2. AS THINGS LOOK AT PRESENT IT WOULD SUIT ME BEST TO BE AWAY AT THE END OF THE WEEK BEGINNING 25 MAY, IE TO ARRIVE IN HONG KONG IN TIME FOR MEETINGS ON FRIDAY 29 AND/OR SATURDAY 30 MAY. IT MIGHT IN ANY CASE MAKE SENSE FOR ME TO SEE MR GOODLAD TOWARDS THE END OF HIS PROGRAMME RATHER THAN EARLY ON.

3. WHETHER SUE COULD ACCOMPANY ME OR NOT WOULD DEPEND ON WHETHER WE HAVE HOUSEGUESTS AT THE TIME HERE. IN PRINCIPLE SHE WOULD LIKE TO DO SO. THANK YOU FOR THE THOUGHT.
