Managing Director's Office,
Canton,
4th October, 1928.
Sir,
In reply to your letter No.654 of the 1st
instant, I have the honour to inform you that your 30 ton
Open Goods Wagon No.71, which was derailed and thrown into Sien Tsun creek during military operations on November 1923, has been salvaged recently and is now under repairs
by the Mun Hing Quarry Company for the transportation of
stones. The wood work of this wagon has been completely
rotted and the iron work is so badly corroded and that, even under most favourable circumstances, will only be fit
for stone traffic. If you should care to quote a very reasonable figure for this wagon, taking into consideration
of the depreciation for the time the wagon was in use on your section prior to the accident, this section shall be
glad to consider your offer.

I have, &c.,
(Sd.) M. Lao,
Managing Director.
