THE BRITISH AND CHINESE CorporaȚION,
LIMITED.

Rallway, the Bombay Port Trust, the State of Johore, the Shanghai Nanking Railway, and also the Harbour Works at Chingwang tao. Mr. A. J. Barry is personally well acquainted with China and is now in that Country.
Should Mr. Lyttelton be agreeable to their appointment
I suggest that the Draft Agreement be at once submitted to them for consideration and report.
As regards the negotiations to be entered upon by the Corporation with the Chinese Government, I may mention that Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co. who with the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank represent the Corporation as joint Agents in the East (executive work being more particularly the function of Jardine, Matheson & Co.) propose to entrust these negotiations to their Mr. C. H. Ross, now in London but who purposes leaving for the East on the 19th. instant. If agreeable I should like to introduce Mr. Ross to you.
Yours/ very truly,
W
