11th September, 1897.
To His Excellency
Wongtong
So Heung : Major
Sir,
Colonial Secretary.
On behalf of our partner,
Mr Alexander McCulloch, who is
absent from China,
we
leave to
request most respectfully that he be relieved from any Rent
may
charge in respect of Inland Lots
14463 accruing
since midsummer
last - The Annual Rent
of
those
Lots being dollars 199.5 the precludes the hope of any advantage to Mr
McCulloch, and we are anxious
to
save
him from further exposure. We have therefore to beg
unless
the matter
be allowed
to rest without expense to him,
until we
receive his instructions
