| Description | Their letter [regarding Lord Lister Deceased] of 30 June was laid before the President and Council at their last meeting, and Harrison has been directed to inform them that they agree to the suggestion of their clients, namely, that they should retain the holding of the China Navigation Company stock for the time being and endeavour to sell it in small blocks. The money should be distributed as received from time to time, pro rata the legacies under the will, and in the same way distributing the dividends. |
