I attach a copy of a letter from Sir Newton Stabb of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation regarding the grounds upon which Mr. Kadoorie decided to transfer his residence from Hongkong to Shanghai.

I may add that from a purely material point
of view it would seem to be to the advantage of His Majesty's Government to admit Mr. Kadoorie as a British subject. He is a man of wealth and he has spent large sume a charitable objects. The French Government, being fully alive to this aspect of the matter, is pressing him
to become a French citizen:
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
7.8. Statk
Governor, ko.
