CH Kung Esq to Ribbons Esq
Dear Sir
50 Parliament Street 17 June 1886
I wired you on receipt of a telegram from
Hong Kong a copy of which I enclose I think this looks
as if they mean business, or they would not spend £4 on a telegram but what use the sample can be to them I can't understand : unless they want to specify in ordering that all clinker supplied shall be equal to the sample. If you have not sent it before this reaches
You please let me have it as soon as possible and I will endeavour to send it off this week
Yours &c. (50) CH King
