Your telegrams Nos. 98, 99 and 102

(Boxer Indemnity).

These notes have to be submitted to

Farliament and we must be in a position to give

remove certain obscurities in Note A in your

telegram No. 99, and this has been done in

draft which will be found in my immediately

following telegram.

I um glad to find Chinese admitting

that the terms of existing contracts will be

taken into consideration, though I imagine

their object is to get Chinese materials used

where existing contracts provide for these,

but adaission dogs imply that they will respect

1911 Hakuang Agreement and other existing

contracts. This ought to safeguard
