Messrs. CROSSE & BLACKWELL much regret that for the first time for a hundred years war conditions prevent many of their products being shipped to Hongkong and China. They much appreciate the letters they are receiving, and in reply would stata that it is fully recognised here that under the circumstances of life in China the absence of English delicacies and foods is a very real hardship.
Merers, CROSSE & BLACKWELL will take care that not a day shall be lost in forwarding supplies when a return to more normal conditiona permits. In the meantime they trust that those who have been accustomed to rely on their products will be good enough to accept this explanation.
