My dear Cowell,
Herewith a copy of a demi-official
letter which i have sent recently to Blunt at
Canton. I do not wish to bother you with the letter
to which it is a reply. It is rather long but the
relevant point was that he expressed surprise that I
had asked for permission (which was refused) to be
given by the Japanese to Walker, the Manager of the
Kowloon-Canton line, to visit the Sheklung Bridge and
see what damage it had suffered. I hope that you agree
generally with the line that I am taking regarding the
re-opening of the Canton-Kowloon line.
Yours sincerely,
H. R. Cowell, Esq., C.M.G.,
