:
THE TAI O TRAGEDY
211
Sir,
I regret to find that the letter which I addressed to
you in July last over the non-de-plume "Wirelese" was considered
by Mr.E.W.Hamilton, until lately Assistant Di strict officer,
as a personal attack on himself.
No such at tack was intended, the letter being written
merely as comment on the general administration of the
Southern District of the New Territories by the Government
during the last 20 years, in the hope that such administration
would be modified,
If the letter contained any personal imputations against
Dr Hamilton respecting the performance of his duties as
Assistant District officer (and I maintain it did not) such
imputations were unintentional and I wito draw them,
Yours faithfully,
8d/-
