I note in the London papers that China has given away on the question of the railway between Canton and Kowlung, The section in the neighbourhood of the former is to be carried out by China, and that near Kowlung by the British. For this purpose China will borrow in Great Britain giving the railway revenues as security.
I should be glad if you could give me any information with regard to this matter, as I should like this Syndicate to have the opportunity of issuing the necessary loan required by China on the security of the rail ay revenues. I wrote to the Chinese Legation here, but they were unable to give me any information. If you could use your good offices
in any way to assist me in securing this business, naturally my Syndicate will be willing to recognise your efforts on their behalf.
Yours faithfully,
5. Imfford Hart
