this matter, and Mr. Carroll will let you have a copy of our present
agreement with the Texas Company. 411 that is necessary to insert
into this contract, in order to fit in with your appointment, are
8 words (which I shall have written in red) in the introductory
paragraph of our present contract with the Texaco, this paragraph
reading:
"THIS AGREEMENT made this nineteenth day of
February nineteen hundred and fifteen, between The Texas Company,
of New York and Houston (Texas) U.S.A., hereinafter call the "Frin-
cipels" of the ONE FART, and kesers. Reiss and Co. Hongkong (& Can-
ton) and Sanders, Rehders & Co., Lta. of London (& elsewhere) here-
inafter called the "Agente" of the OTHER PART, in substitution of
ar Agreement between the principals and Messrs. Sanders, Rehders &
Co., Ltd., dated the nineteenth day of February 1915.
N.B. This is the exact wording of the contract with the previous
Hongkong agents (R.B. & Co.)
At any rate, if you desire to be in a more direct contrac-
tual relationship with the Texas Company, you must sign this, their
regular form of contract, which they have in use for all and every-
one of their many oversea agencies. If not, we must leave matters
as they were clearly laid down in our September understandings, ac-
cording to which you were to become our Subagents. In my opinion
you will do better in signing this Agreement. Of course this agree
ment can be worded in a dozen different ways; however to alter this
old established form in any way is impossible also quite unneces-
sary going by our practical knowledge and experience for years with
these people, who are very conservative and on whom one can abso-
lutely rely to receive even without any contract fair treatment
against fair services.
Contract as between your Firm and my Company: The position here is
also quite simple, if not complicated by unreasonable dewords such
as have emanated from Hongkong.
