December 22, 1953

Dear Mr. Bayless:

Early in the New Year Mr. Ian McKensey, Manager of Elrington
Colliery iirill be leaving on a visit to the United States to study
latest developments in connection with mining practice and equipment.

Elrington Colliery is on the Maitland/Cessnock field of New
South Wales and is a Colliery in which we have a controlling interest
in association with Hebburn Limited. This is the only colliery in
our group producing gas making coal and is also the only one developed
on the basis of utilising trackless mining equipment.
During the time Mr. McKensey is in the United States I would
very much like him to have the pleasure of meeting you and perhaps
having the opportunity of discussing matters of mutual Interest with
some of your officers. With this in view I trust that you will not
mind my having taken the liberty of providing him with a letter of
introduction to you. I can assure you that anything you or your
officers may be able to do to add to the interest and Instruction
of his visit to your country will be greatly appreciated not only by
him but by me personally.

Mr. McKensey’s programme in the United States has not yet been
finalised but I have suggested to him that as soon as possible after
his arrival there he should communicate with you and advise you re­
garding his movements.

Just recently I was delighted to learn from Mr. Lewis that
Mr. McAuliffe is keeping so well and active - when next you see him
I should be glad if you would be good enough to remember me to him
and give him my kindest regards and best wishes.

I trust that you are keeping well and send you my kindest
regards and best wishes.
Yours sincerely,

/s/ Ian McLennan
General Manager
