20th November, 1911.
Referring to my letter of the 13th instant request-
ing that Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen should be allowed to visit Hong-
Kong, I have to-day been requested by Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen to
inform you that he is leaving by the P. and 0. steamship
"Malwa "from Marseilles on the 24th instant, and would be
greatly obliged if he could be informed whether his
permission to visit Hongkong is approved.
He further would be most grateful if instructions may
be sent to Penang and Singapore, Straite Settlements,
permitting him to land at these places. He is aware that
no act of banishment has been made preventing him from
visiting Penang and Singapore, but he fears it is possible
notwithstanding, that some officials might possibly
give him trouble, and he would not like any unpleasant
objections raised on his arrival.
The Right Honourable,
I have &c.,
(Signed)
A. T. Dawson.
