Office of H.M.Trade Commis ne:

Asiatic Building,

HONGKONG.

15th August, 1954.

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter No.1371/33° of 13th August conveying to me an expression of His Excellency The Governor's appre-

ciation of my part in connection with the negotiation of

the revise: Kowloon-Canton Railway working agreement.

While it was good of the Chairman of the long-

Kong delegation favourably to mention the small part

I played in this matter, I venture to express my opin-

ion that the satisfactory conclusion was entirely due

to the excellent manner in which the negotiations were

conducted by the Hong Kong delegates.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Sir Thomas Southorn, K.C.M.G.,

Hon. Colonial Secretary,

HONGKONG.

(SGD) G. C. PELHAM.

H.M.Trade Commissioner.
