My Lord,

I have the honour to enclose in original a

letter from Mr. G. Trafford Hewitt, Director of "The London

and Tokyo Syndicate, Limited", on the subject of financing

the Chinese section of the Canton-Kowloon Railway.

2.

The letter has come to me in the circumstance

of no such official existing as "the British Consul,Kowlung".

I know nothing of the Syndicate from which the letter pur-

parts to emanate and in view of the doubtful suggestion at

the end of it have caused no reply to be sent. I transmit the

letter in case it is considered advisable that notice should

be taken of it.

I have the honour to be,

i

My Lord,

RIGHT HONOURABLE

THE EARL OF ELGIN, K.G.
