Dear Mr. King,

HONG KONG,

I am in receipt of your letter of the 13th

instant, for which I thank you.

1.

We agree that it will be necessary for the

Marconi Company to send out an engineer to instal the

three new transmitters and the eight new receivers

which it is proposed to supply for the working of the

local services.

2.

We also agree that it is desirable that the

various details in connection with the taking over of

the local services should be settled before you leave

for Hong Kong on the 4th September.

3.

With regard to the Principal Agreement, we

have recently received a letter from the Colonial Office

enquiring whether the Company is prepared to accept the

proposals contained in the draft agreement, and we have

replied suggesting certain modifications in the agree-

ment. We presume that our observations on the

transition agreement will also have to be communicated

to the Colonial Office.
