Also,I`m going to have a young man here, a friend of Alva`s. His name is Peter Groesbeck.Other information you can find out for yourself. Bring your bathing suit, we will meet your usual Saturday morning train.

Affectionately,

Alan Liu

Judy,

Write to Frank for me. Tell him I`m sorry he`s not well and I wish he`d recover soon. Propose September 2 lunch meeting.

Give Bill a call and apologize to him. I can`t be at his daughter`s birthday party this evening because of the task of receiving an important delegation. Wish her a happy birthday.

Thanks.

D.H.

Ted,

Is there any way we could meet for lunch today? I need to consult you about the reception of Nanyang Industrial Co., Ltd. They will open a new branch in Pudong on August 8, next Thursday.

I think we have to cancel the appointment with Mr. Zhang of Bank of China. Contact me as soon as possible.
