Dear Butler,

Treasury Chambers,

Whitehall S..

10th June, 1914.

236

I find that the Colonial Office on the 18th ultimo (reference no. 16732) forwarded officially to the Treasury a copy of a reply which they had sent to a Memorial from the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce asking support in aid of a proposed University in Central China. In this connection you may be interested to read the enclosed copy of correspondence which has passed between

Mr. Alston of the Foreign Office and myself on this

matter.

F.G.A. Butler Exq.

Yours sincerely,

I. P. tamilm
