Mr. Morley to Government of India.
BURMAH-CHINA frontier.
Your telegram dated the 28th September.
India Office, October 16, 1906.
Combination of Tengyueh railway negotiations with frontier question is considered inadvisable by His Majesty's Government.
Treatment of former independently of frontier will, in their opinion, afford better prospect of successful issue within reasonable time.
