No.298.
Addressed to the Colonial Office No.298 repeated to
Consul General Shanghai No.185.
Grateful if the following message may be transmitted to
the Lord Mayor of London begins. Refugee situation in Hong Kong
and South China now necessitates appeal for money but I consider
that sufficient can be collected within the Colony.
Have you
any objection to the creation of Hong Kong branch of the Lord
Mayor's Fund money collected being used at the discretion of
the Local Committee. I intend to associate myself with the
appeal but would prefer to do so as Vice President of your Fund.
Grateful for early reply.
