In pursuance of your letter No. 43110 of the
19th December 1913, we instructed Messrs. Preece Cardew
& Snell to enter into negotiations with the Marconi
Company with a view to obtaining from them anoffer for
the establishment of the desired Wireless Telegraph
Stations at Singapore, Penang, Hong Kong and Mombasa.
2. I have now the honour to enclose for the
consideration of the Secretary of State a copy of a
letter from Messrs. Freece Cardew & Snell covering the
tender and connected papers submitted by the Company
for these four stations together with the draft of a
contract which the Company is prepared to sign.

It will be seen that the conditione of the
contract are the same as those drawn up for signature
by the Anglo-French Co. and approved by the Colonial
Office, with the exception of the modifications to
which attention is drawn in the Consulting Engineers'
covering letter and which they consider reasonable,
The f.o.b. price quoted is identical for
each station, viz. 23,641.6.1. plus £500 in each case
for the services of an engineer to erect the station.
