I beg to inform you that I am authorized to regulate
the taxation of boats (here) and that since my recent arrival
in Tai Pang, the boat people have come with all possible speed to pay their taxes as required, but no representative from your boat has yet come to pay. I therefore write to
request you to come without delay to Tai Pang to take out
a licence in order to avoid the punishment to which you
are liable.
To the Compradore,
S. S. "Tai Fang".

Supt. of Branch Customs, Tai Pang and Sham Chun.
