RE. 16 SEP 22]
GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
HONGKONG. 1st August, 1922.
With reference to your telegram of the 17th
May relating to Madame Kupsch, I have the honour to forward for your information copies of further correspondence on the same subject, from which it will be seen that His Majesty's Minister at Peking concurred in the proposal that
an advance of £3,000 should be allowed pending the settle-
ment of her claim to her late husband's estate, and that
payment was accordingly effected through the Hongkong and
Shanghai Banking Corporation at Shanghai.
2.
Madame Kupach is the widow of a German
national who died intestate in Shanghai in 1916, and is now
registered with her three children aged 8, 12, and 14 years of age respectively as French 'protégés'. She was a French subject before marriage and French law in such cases requires a period of residence in France before full French national-
ity can be resumed. Her children can only elect to become
French subjects on reaching the age of 21 years. The French Consul General in Shanghai has in view of her
straitened circumstances and in order to enable her to
settle her affairs in Shanghai extended the period within
which she should return to France.
3.
I enclose also a copy of a letter from Sir R. E. Stubbs to His Britannic Majesty's Acting Consul- General, Shanghai, dated 4th May, 1922, together with a
