Dear Mr. Taylor,
With reference to our telephone conversation
this morning about the visit which you have had from
Mr. J.G. Charlton, Assistant Government Marine
Surveyor, Hong Kong, I find that we have not yet
received from the Governor of the Colony anything
beyond this officer's leave certificate. I can only
assume that we shall get separately in due course a
despatch asking for him to be given facilities to
seek your advice on matters arising out of the gas
explosion in Hong Kong in 1934.
You will remember that the Home Office
supplied us with a memorandum in your official
letter of the 22nd of December, 1934, (513,579/40),
and this was duly communicated to the Hong Kong
Government. It is probable that Mr. Charlton wants
to consult you on behalf of the Colonial Government
G.S. TAYLOR, ESQ., O.B. E.
