(3). To believe the false information from Mr Wongkit
attempting to put me into trouble. In addition to the above
he refuses to take his words and thus to show his dishonesty to my relation Mr Tang who had advanced his money to the firm all the time. r Tang is our cashier as informed you by my last letter and he is undertaking to advance the firm his moneys for paying drafts and hold the goods or godown warrant as security for loans. Such arrangement was made on the 26th December last and he had advanced the firm about 10,00:00 up to now. On occasion that one draft for 30 cases capsuls ex 8.5. Tubigen detained in Manila, was falling due on 26th Jan, and the firm has no money to meet, I there- fore advanced the money dollars 1,000:00 from Tang, and pay off the draft but as the goods are detained in Manila I cannot give him the goods as security, but to write him a letter confirming that the said goods will be delivered him as security soon as they arrived. Now the goods have arrived, and Blait refuses to give him as previously arranged, intending to hold it back for bankruptcy which is really unfair and thus exactly like to deceive person. Absolutely I can't understand his idea at all, but in acting this, it is merely to show his dishonesty to Fr Tang's father and thus the firms support is entirely spoilt therefrom. Kindly note that r Tang is not only to withdraw his support from the firm but also to consult with hie solicitor to deal with him and in the meantime holding him respossible for any losses he may sustain thereby. Further Mr Ma the new compadore has suggested his surety of financing the firm, but he also refuses to consult at all. It is rather surprised that he keeps the dealers money and at the same time ask him to remit the advancing of 1,000:00 dollars for releasing the goods.
Do you think I am going to advance the firm money and let him keeps the money" The wine account for February
is amounted 5,000 dollars which are going day by day. Even
