That should I wish to leave England even for a short period,
I must go to considerable trouble, and wait sometimes for hours
in the Aliens' Room at the Home Office, before being able to
reobtain my travelling Permit.
That I am obliged to go from time to time to Bow Street
Police Station to register as an Alien, a proceeding that is
distinctly disagreeable to me, who have spent all my life amongst
Britishers and working for British interests.
I put these facts before you, in the hope that you will grant
me some more permanent travelling facilities, that will be
accepted by the consulates of all nations, and also the privelege
of not having to register all my movements as an Alien.
I think I may say, without boasting, that as a pioneer I have
played a considerable part in the up-building of HongKong and
the growth of British interests in the Far-East.
My Dossier in your possession will, I believe, bear out these
statements.
Your obedient servant,
Estadoorie
