Having lived several years in China, I invested my money with British Companies in that country. Enquiring for the Dividends I was told that these had been paid into the Alien Enemy Account at the Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation in Shanghai. Asking the bank for the money due to me, I was referred to His Britannic Majesty's Government. Applying to the Public Trustee, your Department was suggested as the proper one. As I have no other funds available I should be obliged to you, if you would kindly see that this money is transferred to my account through
the Commandant of this Camp.
Thanking you in anticipation, etc.,
(Signed) Carl Klarer.
