this work. I gathered from our conversation however, that so far as you are aware no similar work is done by your Department, and I shall be grateful if you will confirm this, and at the same time let me know whether the Colonial Office would support us in an appeal to the Government of Hong Kong for remuneration for this work.
If you are prepared to do this I should like to discuss with you the terms of a letter to the Government.
Yours sincerely,
