Enclosure 1 in Shanghai despatch to Foreign Office No.93 of March 31st 1939.
To the Chancellor in Charge of Czechoslovakian Consulate-General, Shanghai, from H.B.M. Consul-General, Shanghai.
May 4th 1938.
Sir and dear Colleague,
I have the honour to transmit to you,
herewith, a statement of expenses incurred by His
Majesty's Government on behalf of Czechoslovakian
nationals who evacuated to Hongkong in August 1937.
Each person stated to the Authorities in
Hongkong that the Czechoslovakian Consul-General
would be responsible for any expenditure incurred
and as it has not been possible to collect the
amounts due from the individuals concerned, I shall
be glad if you will now kindly repay to me the amount
outstanding, viz Hongkong $1996.00, or its equivalent
in Shanghai currency.
I have, etc.,
(Signed) Herbert Phillips.
Consul-General.
