Dear Cockburn,
I promised in my letter of the 4th of
May acknowledging yours of the 1st of May
about your "duress" notes that I would
write further when we had looked at your
figures and those of the Mercantile Bank
more fully. We have now done this and
I suggest that we should defer any further
consideration of the whole problem until the
"debtor-creditor" question has been
settled since this will determine the
} position of the Hong Kong and Shanghai
Banking Corporation and hence your own
position. І ргорове, if you agree, to
leave it to you to raise the matter
further with us at any time you think
desirable.
I am writing in similar terms to
Crichton.
Yours sincerely,
FURTHER ACTION.
