I write to confirm what I told you on the telephone yesterday that we agree to the despatch of the draft telegram, enclosed in your letter of the 16th May, regarding a proposed Hong Kong loan. I suggested that you might strengthen paragraph 4 of your telegram, i.e., that you should be more emphatic about the desirability of making provision at this stage for a loan of $100,000,000 rather than $150,000,000.

H. Palmer, Esq., 0.B.E.,

Colonial Office.

Yours sincerely,
