As soon as our line to the
Chinese boundary is completed it will be notified to the Canton Govt. through H.In Consul at Canton . The Chinese Company's Manager will prob- ably hold out to the last. I do not think he will enter into any arrange- -ment with us till his line is finished', and he may, or the GN. Coy may delay it's completion until they further resistance is hopeless. Mean- while Mr. Dunn and I keep on toms with Mr. Ho
Pang
see that
of influence
a Chinese official is appa inthy favourable to us but I do not rely upon verbal statement.
If
we can see a
way
to bring influence to bear we shall use it, but at present we can only go on as we have steadilyf Commenced. It is advisable to be can trous and not too sanguine .
