Consul-General at Canton - Mr. Fox

Mr. Scott, senior partner of the important firm of Butterfield and Swire who has recently visited the Colony all concur with me in the great importance of this project, and I venture therefore to submit to Your Lordship that it is one which is worthy of Imperial recognition and of a financial assistance which shall assure its success.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Jugen

Governor, &C • •
