that no figure is stated even today, although the cable makes mattera

mt, and in view of what has gone before this offer only showe again the people's desire to somehow aequire this business without omsidering at all the interests of the people who put it trustingly into their hands, only a few months ago.

I am of course taking steps to have this alleged Government refusal as to port and cable facilities for my Company put right at oncs, as desired by the Texas Company: and I will call upon you either today or tomorrow and you can then tell me whether your Bank actually declines to handle the "Tanored" dargo, so that I dan inform the Guaran“İ ty Trust Company accordingly.

Happily, the earge has not arrived, and all what would be nega essary will be for your Hongkong friends to send the documents agrese to the international, and to transfer the leaves of the godowna which are ; in the name of your Bank, I believe (I have not looked this up yet) most sorry and disheartened as I for one would be to have this done and thus see all my efforts to put this business your way nullified.

Of course, there must be no expense to my Company, of any desi sription, for causing and making this transfer of documents, seeing thaj your Bank undertook this business and that it would retire from it by your own wish,

Yours faithfully,

Kanaging Director, Sanders, Randers & Co. Ltd.,
