Appendix L 31I
His Majesty's Government are unwilling to be committed, by threats accompanying the proposals which may be made to any definite course of compulsion to be undertaken in the future. They authorise you, then, subject to the conditions above stated, to communicate with the Chinese Resident and Tibetan representative, fixing Khamba Jong as the place of meeting. They also request that the purport and progress of the negotiations, as they proceed; may be communicated to them from time to time.
