have had similar experiences recently, we venture to bring the
matter to your attention.
The details of the shipments which we have received are
as follows:-
20 tons "Zuiderkerk"
Hong-Kong assay: 99.1% English
: 98.88%
15 tons "Fushima Maru" Hong-Kong assay : 99.05%
English
11
: 98.84%
The Assay Certificates, which we are keeping here and which will
be sent to you if you so desire, were furnished by-
Mr.D.G.Glenn Allen, .A., A.I.C., Successor to r. A.C.Franklin,
F.I.C., 13/17, Percival Street, Hong-Kong. As we understand
that this firm is doing Government assays, and as in any case
Tin is quite an easy metal both to sample and to analyse, we are
at a loss to understand the discrepancies.
The opinion strongly exists that the whole question
should be thoroughly investigated locally, and for this reason we
are approaching you to ask if you can help us to this end.
Yours faithfully
BRANDEI GODSCH

DIRECTOR.
