I beg to inform you that Major Fong Leung Tsoi of the left wing has received instructions from the Viceroy & Governor (at Canton) to make a special visit to your district in order to orally explain to the gentry & elders the particulars regarding the leased area so that they may inform the villagers in order to prevent misunderstanding. He is also bringing the Viceroy's proclamation to be posted in the villages. I am sending a special messenger to go ahead to inform you. Other particulars I will tell you when we meet.
I take this opportunity to send you my regards.
P.S. Please at once inform your clansmen that Major Fong will arrive in the afternoon to prevent suspicion and anxiety.
Written from the transmitting order dept. of the Major's Yamen at Nam Tau.
