temptible actions, the effect will be to support and strengthen
the owners as against the slaves, and it is our intention to
refute these statements of yours by every possible means and
to bring you out into the open to face these charges,i.e. that
you have dishonoured your word and the word of the nation to

We also intend to draw the attention of the public
to the Government's participation, (we think this is the right
word) in the official placing of girls in brothels in the Colony,
and to the unsatisfactory answers you have given with regard to the
dead bodies of children found in the streets of Hong Kong.
yours faithfully
