We also submit that what we apply for involves no abrogation of any principle, but only that it would be a convenience to the Public that the notes should be received at the Government Offices, in the ordinary course of business in the same way that they are received by Mercantile Houses, Shops, native and foreign Banks,

Sir,
Your most obedient servant
for the National Bank of China, Ltd.
