available to him for any information on
local conditions.
Your name has been suggested
to this Department by the President of
the Institution of Civil Engineers as
that of an Engineer well qualified to act as
undertake the task of Engineering adviser
in the investigation, and I am to say
that it will be much appreciated both by
the Government of Hong Kong and by the
Secretary of State if you can find it
possible to accept the appointment.
It is contemplated that the
mission should sail for Hong Kong in September
and it is probable that the investigation in
the Colony may occupy some eight weeks.
Free passages and expenses would, of course,
be provided by the Government of the Colony,
and the terms of remuneration for your
services would, it is suggested, be best
discussed in the first place with you at this office, if you are free and inclined to accept the appointment and could find it convenient
to visit London in the near future.
