I beg to acknowledge receipt of your favour No .39434/09
of the ^.9th ultimo advising that the Government of India
have enquired (i) what the extent of the work is likely to
be, (2) on what scale the Maps are to be constructed, and
(3) the period for which the services of the Officer engaged
on the Survey will be required.
A telegram making the same enquiries was received by us
from Messrs. Lloyd Scott and Company on the 26th ultimo
and in reply thereto we wired to them
Prooably 500 square miles - 6 inches mile - possibly
2 years".
Messrs Lloyd Scott and Company's telegram was doubtless
sent, in connection with an enquiry received by them from the
Covernment ol India, and the reply we sent has presumably
been
4 be under Secretary of State,
foreign Office.
