CHINA MAIL.
CORRESPONDENCE.
The Tai O Tragedy.
(To the Editor of the "China Mai 1").

I regret to find that the letter which I addressed to
you in July last over the nom de plume "wi rele 89" WAB CON-
sidered by Mr.E.W.Hamilton, until lately Assistant District
officer, as a personal attack on himself,
No such attack 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
Mr „Hamilton respecting the performance of his duties as
Assistant District officer (and I maintain it did not) such
imputations were unintentional and I with draw them.
Yours faithfully,
F.B.L.BOWLEY,
Hong Kong 6 th November 1918.
