still unsettled between the Telegraph Office and your
Government. Therefore it is clear that all negotiations
in connection with the Telegraph Office and my proposal to
take over charge are two entirely separate things.
Now I propose to take over charge of the Office
on the 1st October and I send you this letter hoping that
you will put it on record.
If there are any negotiations unsettled in con-
nection with the Office, I can refer the opinion of your
Government to my Government for consideration after taking
up my post, or your Government can negotiate with my
Government directly. #11 this is for you to decide.
I shall be glad of your reply.
With regards,
LUK CHI WAN,
Commissioner of the Telegraph Office,
Hong Kong.
I am residing in Room No.534, of the MEI CHAU
(Dated) 26th September, 1929.
