Dear
Mr Harcourt,
This will serve to introduce to you
Professor Middleton Smith, Professor of Engineering
in the Hongkong University, who is proceeding to England
on a special mission authorized by the Council of the
University for the purpose of obtaining in England
assistance to the University, and especially to the
Engineering Faculty thereof, by donations of money or
otherwise.
The Council of the University will be very
much obliged if you will assist Professor Smith in any
way you can, as the University is in need of substantial
financial assistance.
Believe me,
Yours sincerely,
Amay
Chancellor of the University of
Hongkong.
