Dear Ride,

I want to write to you about Dr. Yang Tsuni's case who, as you know, has given us extremely loyal and good service during the war. He is now seeking an appointment in Hongkong University and I should like to ask you to do what you can to help him. He is, firstly, a geologist graduated at Tsing Hua and Yale Universities. He held the chair of geology at Chung Shan University until 1941 when he joined the British Military Mission on war service. He could, therefore, undertake geological or engineering geology or say geological survey work that may be required locally but even more than that I feel he would be an invaluable link in promoting better relations between the Kwangtung University and Provincial Authorities and Hongkong. He is a Cantonese (Swatow) but his background is wholly Chinese. He has, however, a gift of getting on with both sides. He is now on his way down to Hongkong and I am asking him to call on you when he arrives. On John Keswick's advice, I have also written to Mr. Gent of the Colonial Office and I am sending a copy of my letter to you to the Ambassador.

Yours sincerely,

Colonel L. T. Ride, C.V.O.
