V. C. Branson, Esq.,
Dear sir,
67, Langdale Gardens,
HOVE, 3., SUSSEX.
31st July, 1935.
We have recently received a visit from the Secretary of the London Metal Exchange regarding the question of the differences between China and the London and New York Barkets in Chinese Tin. We understood that the London Metal Exchan e had been approached by the Colonial Office, and we have now received a letter direct from the Colonial office asking us if we could arrange a meeting with you to discuss the whole question.
We may say that we have given a great deal of
attention to the matter in view of difficulties which have arisen from time to time. It will, therefore, be a great pleasure to us to have an opportunity not only of meeting you but of exchanging views on the whole problem with the hope that something definite may result which will tend to eliminate the difficulties which, at present, are causing so much trouble.
As far as we are concerned here any time to suit your convenience would be agreeable to us if you will gi e us a day's notice. It happens, however, that our chief Technical Officer, Dr. W. R. Schoeller, will be away next wook. It would be particularly useful to have his presence in the discussion; moreover as a Chemist of international reputation and one who has been in China we think it would be particularly interesting if he could have the opportunity of meeting you. If, therefore, it suited your convenience to defer the interview until after next week we would be pleased to fix any day most convenient to you.
We are, Dear Sir,
Yours faithfully,
