If for any reason connected with the execution of the works the Crown Agents should desire any member of our firm to visit Hong Kong or if they desire us to send a special representative there on any matter connected with the execution of the work of the railway, our fees for such services would have to be made the subject of an independent arrangement when the circumstances arise.

If the Crown Agents should desire to retain our services as Consulting Engineers after the works of the railway are completed and the railway opened for traffic, we would propose an annual salary of £500 to commence from the date of the opening, with repayment of expenses as above, our duties being similar in character to those above mentioned.

We are, &c.

for Sir John Wolfe Barry & Partners.

(Sa.) J. Wolfe Barry.
