In continuation of our letter of the 14th
February on the subject of the proposal to retain your services as Consulting Engineers for the Kowloon
Canton Railway, I have to inform you that we have now
learned through the Colonial Office that the Colonial
Government is not prepared to enter into any agreement
such as that proposed by us and set forth in your
letter to us of the 9th January last.
2. It appears probable however that we shall
from time to time require your assistance in dealing
with indents or other work sent to us by the Railway
Administration for execution. I have therefore to
enquire whether you would be prepared, should occasion
arise to advise us on work in connection with the
Kowloon Canton Railway charging a proportionate fee in
each case where a reference is made to you.
3. We have passed the account you have sub-
mitted for your expenses in connection with the work
referred to between January and May of this year.
