Dear Mr Fiddes,

TELEGRAPHIC ADDRESS... TELEPHONE NUMBER,

CONSILIUM, LONDON 24 WESTMINSTER

21.

Delahay Street,

Westminster, S.W.

March 18th 1908.

I called this morning to see the Chief manager of the Hongkong Bank and most active director of the Board. I drew his attention to the point you made yesterday that the bondholders had the right to demand that every customary precaution should be taken to ensure that the railway should be constructed according to the "best" modern system.

Strangely enough, the board seemed to have forgotten that they are trustees of the bondholders. Mr Addis had no hesitation in saying that his bank would take any action possible to ensure that the question of the appointment of Consulting Engineers being adjusted satisfactorily.

He will gladly call on you should you wish to see him.

As he can take any action...

However, to fully follow the instructions and provide the output in HTML as requested, and considering the original text was not fully coherent due to OCR issues, the corrected version should be presented as follows:
