Referring to your letter of the 30th May
1913 regarding your quotations for Wireless Stations
for Hong Kong, Barbados, Penang, Singapore and
Mombasa, the Colonial Office advise us that Marconi's Wire-
less Telegraph Co. Ltd. have issued a writ against your
firm through their Solicitors, Messrs. Coward and
Hawksley Sons & Chance, in respect of the proposed
contracts.
2. Before your application for an increase of
£175 per station is considered I have therefore to
ask whether, in view of the proceedings which have
been commenced against your firm, you are still prepared
to carry out the contracts.
3. In any case reference to the Government or
Barbados will be necessary with regard to the proposed
increase of £175 in the amount of the contract, before
it can be considered by the Secretary of State.
I am &c.
(Sa) F. Ezechiel.
For Crown Agents.
