we should consult Mr. Coleman on the final choice. The question of further staff at this stage can be left for discussion with Mr. Coleman and the H.K.P.U.

May we now have approval for proceeding on these lines,

I attach a draft letter, for Mr. Gent's signature, to Mr. Colman. As for the present the proposal is that he should act as a Consultant only, there seems no need to suggest that a formal letter of appointment should be sent to him at any rate until he takes on the full time post.

I have consulted the H.K.P.U. as to a figure for his retaining fee as a Consultant. Their proposal is a fee of 10 gns. per consultation or 100 gns. as a retaining fee until such time as he takes up the full time appointment. I think that a fee per consultation would be difficult and impracticable and I suggest the latter recommendation. It is admittedly low, but I gather from Mr. MacDougall that they do not expect to trouble Mr. Colman wery much.
