Canton with the authorities of Hongkong are becoming more
and more cordial, it is highly desirable that any possible
ground for misunderstanding on either side should be
removed. I am sure that you will join your efforts with
mine in bringing this desire into fruition and thus venture
to suggest that the Governor of Hongkong be persuaded to
drop his plan of evacuation and that, further, such steps
be taken as will permit Chinese officials to resume
jurisdiction in Kowloon City in accordance with the
Convention of 1898. As regards the park plan which
seems to be responsible for the order of evacuation, I
have reason to believe that Chinese officials and indivi-
duals will be willing to do all they can to lay out a
public park in the City which will enhance the value of
its surroundings. It is sincerely hoped that you will
give these suggestions your favourable consideration and
strong support.

Yours sincerely
HSU MO.
