Mr. YING FEI YU has arrived in Hong Kong from
BB
He has told us that SIU's affair has been
prepared and action will be taken at any moment, but that he is hard up and asks for $800 more. The
responsible persons in Shanghai refused to contact
him, so he has come to Hong Kong to relate his hard-
ships. He asks for your approval so that he
will not fail on the verge of success. We judge the
truth in his statement. Please instruct us whether
we can pay him the said amount and send him back to
Shanghai to act immediately. Please reply by
telegram.
Your obedient servants
