His Majesty's Consul-General understands that the value of one third of the residuary estate at Shanghai alone is roughly estimated at fifty thousand pounds while one half of the cost of constructing the hall for the Ellis Kadoorie School there is roughly estimated at twenty thousand pounds.

  1. It would seem desirable that Sir E. Kadoorie's known wishes as regards the Assembly Hall should be carried out, and the Secretary of State proposes, with the concurrence of the Duke of Devonshire, to instruct His Majesty's Consul-General at Shanghai to represent His Majesty's Government both as regards any action that may be necessary at Shanghai in accepting the bequest and with a view to joining with the other interested parties in consenting to give effect by the executors to the promise made by Sir Ellis Kadoorie to defray half the cost of the construction of the Assembly Hall.

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Fitshim-Cartin
