Dear Rogers,
With reference to our conversation this
morning, you may like to know that two further boats
built by Thornycroft for the Chinese Government are
at present on their way to Hong Kong on board the
S.S.GLENABB which left on the 28th May. In all the
Chinese appear to have ordered eight Motor Torpedo
Boats from Thornycroft, and of the remaining four,
two are expected to complete in the middle of July
and the last pair towards the end of August.
I am sending a copy of this letter to
Henderson.
P.Rogers Esq.,
COLONIAL OFFICE,

Yours sincerely,
