尊敬的孙博士:

因您匆匆赶去广州,我没机会就以下重要问题与您交谈。我希望您能郑重考虑以下内容:

b.成立军事委员会、调查革命军官和士兵的情况。

c.补贴酬劳所有独树一帜的革命军官和士兵。

d.重新招募所有愿意在正规地方部队旗帜下服役的体格健全的官兵。

e.以合理的价格收买所有遣散士兵的枪支。

f.为遣散的士兵安排适当的工作。

2.兴中会和同盟会。

a.合并两会。

b.登记两会会员名单。

c.选举一个普遍公认的调查委员会。

d.对每个会员的品格、背景履历进行慎重的调查。

e.以无记名投票方式(黑白球)开除所有不良分子,并限期进行公告。

除了大海轮船公司,也请帮助我们取得广澳铁路特许权。我们于1906年就开始争取这一特许权。发起人是谢诗屏、唐耀初、张弼士和我。

这里附寄的谈判日记会令您感兴趣并有所启发。

这条铁路大大造福香山及所经之地,并能给广东被遣散的军队提供就业。

希望尽快从您那里得到好消息。

谢缵泰 谨呈
