I deeply regret that I have to trouble His Majesty's Colonial Office in these times with a commercial dispute such as this; but you will see, I am sure, that I have no alternative, bearing in mind your letter to my Company of the 4th January last, in which you asked us to come to terms with Messrs. Weiss & Co. as quickly as possible as to their appointment as our Company's agents, and that we have to show cause why all our endeavors in this direction have failed because of Messrs. L. Reiss Bros. & Co.'s extraordinary attitude.
It is perhaps hardly necessary to add that the proposals as tabled by the Hongkong Bank cannot possibly offer any basis for a settlement, not only because no terms whatever as to our share of commission and profit have been stated, but because my Company will never consent to have its hands tied in this way and must insist that this statement as to refusing it part and cable facilities in Hongkong be withdrawn.
This is also what the Texas Company has instructed me to ask of you, as I added to my cable.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Managing Director, Sanders, Rehders & Co. Ltd.,
