With reference to our conversation of this morning, I write to say that if the authorities in Hongkong are satisfied as to the character of Messrs. Sanders Rehder and Company, I think it would be a good thing from the public point of view if you would consent to allow their name to be associated with that of Messrs. Reiss in the question of the agency for the Texas Oil Company. It is, of course, for Messrs. Reiss to decide and I would not urge them if their feeling is too strong against such a course, but other things being all equal, it would be a pity to let business slip out of British hands.

Yours faithfully,

(Sd.) A. Steel-Maitland,
