Sir,
You cannot but be aware of the open way in which Coolies are being sent from these districts to Macao for sale.
A flagrant evil such as this has become most objectionable in a Treaty port. I have again and again called the attention of the Mandarins to this manifest infraction of the Law, and have received in reply strong professions of their anxiety to stop it.
To Lieutenant St. J. Hunt, R.N., Commanding R.M.S. Gunboat "Drake".
