stating that it does not intend to immediately proceed with the

financing and construction of the line.

It may hardly be necessary for me to point out that energetic steps are being taken by a section of the American China Development Company group to obtain an outlet for the Hankau Canton railway, whether it be at Macao through the intermediary of Portuguese concessionaires or otherwise, and should any of these steps result successfully, irreparable harm will be done to our

Colony of Hongkong.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

(Sgd) Edmund Davis.

Corrections made include: 1. Removing garbled text that doesn't form coherent sentences. 2. Correcting "Masmo" to "Macao" and "Portugese" to "Portuguese" to fix spelling errors. 3. Adding a comma after "otherwise" for proper punctuation. 4. Correcting "irreparablə" to "irreparable" to fix a spelling error. 5. Formatting the text using HTML paragraph tags. The initial and final parts of the text are not coherent and appear to be the result of OCR errors. The corrected version focuses on the recognizable and coherent portion of the text.
