We beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 23rd ultimo informing us by direction of Sir Edward Grey that in a despatch received at the Colonial Office the Governor of Hongkong expresses the opinion that very little risk would be run by inserting into Article 1 of the Loan Agreement £1,500,000 as the maximum amount of the Loan, and providing for its issue in three instalments of not more than £500,000 each.

From our letter to our Agents of December 15th 1905 and the telegram which we despatched to them on the 22nd idem, copies of which letter and telegram are submitted herewith for Sir Edward Grey's information, it will be seen that the amount of the Loan has, as Sir Edward Grey understands, been already the subject of conference between the Colonial Office and ourselves and that we have responded.
