Deutsche-Asiatische Bank.

I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your

letter of the 28th August and to express general approval of the

proposed arrangements subject to the remarks made below:-

CURRENT ACCOUNTS. He lodgments must be accepted for current

accounts.

DRAFT DRAIN ON "THE BANK". HONGKONG. These drafts may be paid

as they come in, but immediate steps should be taken by the "the

bank" to notify other branches to cease drawing on the Hongkong

branch. Permission will be given to "the bank" to send telegrams in

plain language for this purpose. These telegrams should be initiall-

ed by the representative". Drafts bearing dates before the

declaration of war need not be referred to the Government unless

*the representative" is of opinion that they present some special

features. All payments of drafts bearing dates after the declarat-

ion of war must be authorised by "the representative". Should any

draft be presented bearing a date later than the date by which the

netice to cease drawing might reasonably be expected to reach the

other branches the matter should be referred to the Government.

BAR SILVER. Application may be made later if permission

should be required to take over the bars held here against the

Canton contract.

The general intention of the permission conveyed in

my letter of the 25th August is the liquidation of the business

of "the bank' somewhat as if a solvent firm were being wound up in

bankruptcy.

I shall address you later on the question of dealing with letters and telegraMB and in the meantime "the representative" may continue to act as he has been doing.

As a special exception, "the bank" will be allowed

Leesre. Johnson, Stokes and master.
