My dear Sir,
KWANO-LEE-HO, -CANTON, 21st February 1862.
Am I correct in eoncluding that I understood you to say that Sam- qui, who managed the Sun-fook-tie-hong, was in the habit of receiving in it men who afterwards went to the Straits. ? That he Sam-qai did much business as a broker for the Straits labour market, and that he is now, as you understand, on his way labour in that quarter; and further that you were induced to give more to Sing more with men for heed, and were led to know what you do of the mies that went in the Emilie Pireire, and of those that you saw in the hong at Hongkong, by reas on of Sam-qui having received large advances fio a you stili due and owing.
I also think you led me to underst and that it was not unusual to keep contract Coolies in the hung until the ship was ready for receiving knowledge ceasing with the signature to Contract and acknowledment of being on board
Your reply will oblige.-Your's faithfully

I received too late your letter yesterday to answer it the same day- Now I beg to tell that I heard that Sanquay had been, and was also when in charge of the Sun-Book-tie-hong engaged in affairs with the mar- Let of Singapore-That Chinaman served a long period of time in that quarter and talks very well the malaisian language.
It is quite correct that Sunquay owes me some $6000 and that I always suspected him when he was in ay service and was obliged to pay more attention to his management of the Hong than I did for others ander my service.
At the time Samquay was in charge of the Sun-fook-tie-long, it was not allowed by the emigration regulations of Macao to admit in the ca tablishment uncontracted emigrants. As soon as an emigrant was present- ed the man who led him was obliged to proceed to the procuratura where he was examined, and if accepted and the contract being signed, then Be could be accepted into the establishment, where he had to wait until our whole number of coolies required was completed. This number anade, then the emigrants were sent on board altogether, when they were again examined by the Harbour Blaster before sailing of the vossel
Faithfully Yours,
L. LOYE
