I beg leave to state in reply that the Government of India are being communicated with, and that as soon as we are able to send a reply to the Chinese Government, I shall not fail to ask you to come and see me at an early date, so that I the answer of His Majesty's Government to you in person.
may communicate As regards the suggestion made by your Government that you should discuss the matter here with a view to arriving at a settlement, I would point out that hitherto all negotiations with regard to the frontier question have been carried on at Peking, and that it would not be convenient to His Majesty's Government to transfer them at this stage to London.
