Stralsund, 18th. December, 1900.
The Government Lunatic Asylum,
Hongkong.
I am in possession of your 2 letters from
May 24th. and November 18th., about the patient Charles Ahrens
and beg to offer you my best thanks.
In the meantime the patient came to the in- beritance of a small sum M.500 (about 350 Dollars) which money is deposited at the local Law Courts.
I proposed that this money should be trans- ferred to me in order that I could send it to you through the German Consulate, if no other calls are made.
I am sorry to say that other means are not obtainable, so that I must refuse to solicit our Government about the repatriation of the patient.
Yours etc.,
(Sd.) Reinhold Pieritz,
Stralsund, Germany.
