My dear forthy,
I have your letter of 20th November about the
Etraits contribution.
I am quite ready to put it to
Clifford that the Etraita should wake the offer of 17%, provided that as can be sure that the offer, if made, would be acceptable to the Chancel or of the Fachooner.
As you
have sent him the corespondence, perhaps you would be good
enough to get bis concurre po.
Ls regards the tro
·zree that the concession
grouré to the Straits, ii m.de, :111 afford no ground for a
points which you mention, I cuite
sicil concession to Hong Kong.
On the other point I
agree sl30, 11 it is understood that there is no cuestion
al:o,
of withdrawing the exclusion, on which we have agreed, of the capital cost of works for the tigen, 1olding & refund
of the payments already mode.
