My dear Feol,
Many thanks for your letter of October
llth regarding your suggested amendment to the
new draft Customs Agreement submitted by Maze.
2. I have read it with great interest,
but as the points which you raise will by now
have been dealt with between you and Maze in
person, perhaps it is unnecessary for me to comm-
ent upon them. I look forward to heuring from
you at any time that we have at long last got an
agreed draft. What a blessing it will be if we
can get this troublesome question off the slate.
I realise it will be mainly due to your concil-
iatory handling of a difficult subject (and
customer!) if we achieve this.
3.
Many thanks also for your enquiries about E
my health. The malaria which I caught in Nanking was
unpleasant while it lasted, but I am now more or less
completely recovered, though I still have to go on
soaking quinine daily.
new capital!
