the Chief Resident Engineer for the Chinese Section, to construct the bodies for the coaches for that section locally. A design based on the designs used for the Shanghai-Nanking Railway has been mutually agreed upon by him and Mr. Eves and approved by myself; while the under-frames, bogies, brakes etc., have been ordered from England through the Consulting Engineers.

I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient, humble servant
