My Lord,
I have the honour to enclose in original a
letter from Mr. G. Trafford Hewitt, Director of "The London
and Tokyo Syndicate, Limited", on the subject of financing
the Chinese section of the Canton-Kowloon Railway.
2.
The letter has come to me in the circumstance
of no such official existing as "the British Consul,Kowlung".
I know nothing of the Syndicate from which the letter pur-
parts to emanate and in view of the doubtful suggestion at
the end of it have caused no reply to be sent. I transmit the
letter in case it is considered advisable that notice should
be taken of it.
I have the honour to be,
i
My Lord,
RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE EARL OF ELGIN, K.G.
