DEAR SIR,

Victoria Embankment, W.C., 2nd July, 1912. ADVERTING to previous correspondence, I have to inform you that the Com- mittee of the Council concerned have inspected the seven of Mr. Hugh Fisher's pictures which you were so good as to forward, and that they have selected the one entitled "Pottinger Street, Hong Kong," for experimental reproduction by the three- colour process.

I shall be glad, therefore, if you will kindly arrange for this picture to be completed in the manner suggested in your letter of 9th March, 1912.**

The seven pictures are being returned to you by bearer.

I might add that, owing to the School of Photo Engraving and Lithography now being in the process of removing to new premises, the work will not be put in hand until the beginning of the Autumn Session.

Yours faithfully,
