Extract of letter from viceroy to Me Sraser. I

(24 March 1944 2 1906)

I beg also to acknowledge receipt of your former letter recommending

the engineer Kinder. The present intention is to engage eomeone for the

special duty of resurveying the trace of the Canton Hankow railway and draw- ing up detailed plans thereof and of the actual location of stopping places

and stations. When it comes to the building of the sections in the three

provinces, it will be for each province to engage engineere quite apart from

the engineer for the present resurvey of the trace of the line. I should be

grateful if you would at once ascertain from finder whether he is willing to

undertake this task and how much he would require roughly for monthly salary

and expenses,eo as to enable me to consult llunan and Kuangtung by telegraph

and make a further communication to you."
