My dear Hornell,

Many thanks for your letter of the 21st February.

Your aemorendum wes, in the best sense of the word, provocative.

The discussions whica it provoked were interesting and stimu-

lating, eng I think that you will find that our general con-

clusi ns, which er: being conveyed to the Governæent of hong

Aung, are substanti-lly in accordance with the lines of your

Sadler is, i believe, writing separately to you

semorancua.

to know whether he can be of any assistance in your plans for

the development of a Chinese Faculty. I afrola thet there

is nothing that the Alvisory Committet can do whics is likely

to be finenci lly of any suistence to you. But I hope enynow

that you will find the interst taken by the Committe: in the

subject in some messure useful.

kith good wishes,

Sir willim Hornell.

Yours sincerely,

(Signed) ARTHUR MAYHEW
