CHINESE LEGATION.
April 25, 1906.
Your Excellency:-
I have the honour to inform Your Excellency that I have received a telegram, a translation of which is herein enclosed, from His Excellency the Viceroy of Canton on the 23rd instant, relative to the negotiations of the Canton-Kowloon Railway.
Having studied it, I would observe that the construction of this Railway is a question which greatly concerns the Commercial interests of our two countries, and the sooner it is carried through, the better will it be for their development.
As the proposals which have been made by His Excellency the Viceroy of Canton are perfectly fair and tend to attain that end, I beg to commend them to Your Excellency's most favourable consideration, and trust that His Majesty's Government will also read them with satisfaction, and will be able to meet the wishes
Right Honourable
Sir Edward Grey, Bart., P.C.,
