26th May 1967

Written on The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation airletter

Dear Mum, Dad and Alan,

Having read the Telegraph and seen the reports on HK it must have appeared very exciting at your end.  Actually, the incidents described were pretty well localized and we saw little of it.  Compared to a year ago the troops were not called upon and work was not interrupted by curfew during the day.  Everything is normal now, although token strikes are to be expected in the utility companies as the leftists endeavour to show what they can do.  Evidently, the bulk of the local population do not agree with them and they have lost out this time.

It has become very hot at 34 deg c and the children are doing a lot of swimming to keep cool.  We have the Wayfoong tonight and so will enjoy the sea breezes for a few hours.  Margo is still slowly packing but otherwise now the summer is here things have to move at a slower pace.

Cheerio for now and love from us all

Peter
