KIUKIANG-NANCHANG Railway. My despatch No. 184 of the 3rd May last year.
Chinese Syndicate have asked Messrs. Samuel to supply £300,000 out of £500,000l. for construction of line above mentioned. They would receive in return mortgage on line in case of default with complete control, besides orders for railway material.
I should be glad to have your views on the matter.
