Office of H.M.Trade Commis ne:
Asiatic Building,
HONGKONG.
15th August, 1954.
I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter No.1371/33° of 13th August conveying to me an expression of His Excellency The Governor's appre-
ciation of my part in connection with the negotiation of
the revise: Kowloon-Canton Railway working agreement.
While it was good of the Chairman of the long-
Kong delegation favourably to mention the small part
I played in this matter, I venture to express my opin-
ion that the satisfactory conclusion was entirely due
to the excellent manner in which the negotiations were
conducted by the Hong Kong delegates.

I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Sir Thomas Southorn, K.C.M.G.,
Hon. Colonial Secretary,
HONGKONG.
(SGD) G. C. PELHAM.
H.M.Trade Commissioner.
