GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
HONGKONG. 29th. November, 1918.
Sour 23881
Sir,
With reference to Sir Henry May's
Despatch No. 95 of the 27th. March, 1917, I have the honour
to transmit herewith a statement of the returns of Enemy Property made up to June 30th. last.
2.
I much regret that the quarterly returns
required by the Public Trustee have been considerably delayed
owing to an unavoidable reconstitution of the methods of
dealing with the returns received. A new set of ledgers has
now been opened and I do not anticipate any difficulty in
supplying the returns at the proper time in future,
I have the honour to be,
:
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
WALTER LONG, M.P.,
&c.,
&c...
&C..
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
Chasteven
Officer Administering the Government.
