the construction of the pipe line.

Mr. Henderson is being sent home to discuss his proposal with the Crown Agents and the Consulting Engineers and if and when after

received for him.

I submit draft telegram for

consideration. A copy of the despatch and

its first enclosure and the telegram should

be sent to the Crown Agents saying that we

will let them know as soon as Mr. Henderson

reports arrival:

and C.Registry should note to

circate this file immediately Mr. Henderson

eports arrival.
