If you could afford us any remedy for this
state of affairs, I should be grateful, and as we were anticipating getting large shipments off by the ss. "Renledi" closing about a fortnight hence, if a withdrawal of this Hong Kong order could be arranged for within the next week, it would enable us to take advantage as we intended,
of a steamer
-
the "Benledi" which is likely to take
a large portion of the cargo we are awaiting an opportunity
of shipping.
I am sir,
Yours obediently,
Tharrison Dakin
