Dear Mr. Taylor:

As you know, a very important part of the plans of our
company is to secure a commercial lease of the island in question.
This may hinge on or may even depend entirely on the attitude of
the people over in England. My intention is to furnish the
money myself for my journey to England. What I want to ask you
is if you think it would be right for me to pay this money into
the treasury of the company, receive shares for it, and then have
the company pay my expenses to England, it being of course under-
stood that I am making the trip for the company for the purpose
of securing a lease.

Mr. A. J. T. Taylor,
Taylor Engineering Company,
