Your telegram "July, would suggestion substitution of following proposal instead of four. Indultwang in writing from Viceroy Canton that he will see to the conclusion of final loan agreement and joint working agreements for railway from Canton to Kowloon with a payment of £400,000 to be made within 14 days of concluding the above agreement or on August 31, whichever is the earlier date. The second instalment of £360,000 to be paid by September 15 if the above agreements have been already completed. The third instalment £50,000 to be paid...
It is probable that he will negotiate the final agreement as the Viceroy at Canton cannot be held entirely responsible in the negotiations. But I am sure that, with the Canton Viceroy willing to compromise, things can be hastened and the limit... reasonable. I showed prefer to make no reference 4-6. Such a condition is vain to excite suspicion and obtained the aburation of torto rule couen 10 years in any case.
