This should easily be acquired before February next, and in
that case the Chief Resident Engineer of the Canton Section would still require 24 years to complete. If not acquired, completion will be delayed and cannot be anticipated for 4 years
from this date.

I may observe that I believe Mr. Grove to be
a very upright and straight-forward man. He considers himself
to be the servant of the Chinese Government and bound in honour
to uphold their interests, but he is, I think, incapable of
furthering those interests in any underhand manner. He has
stayed with me at Government House on several occasions and
freely discussed railway matters.
I have the honour to he,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
Janga
Governor,&c..
