The Colonial Secretary, Colonial Secretariat, Hong Kong,
Sir,
October 16, 1948.
With reference to your letter of the 30th
ultimo acknowledging receipt of my Petition to His
Excellency the Governor for release of my son, Chong
Tong Nie; and as in accordance with your advice as
also directed in a reply from the Secretary of State
in London that the power of mercy should only be
exercised by the Governor of Hong Kong, I hereby
respectfully beg Your Honour to consider my legitimate
request and to appeal His Excellency, Sir Alexander
Grantham to gracefully approve the perogative of mercy
in order to grant immediate relief in releasing my son
from prison.
I beg to remain, Sir,
Yours very gratefully,
(Sgd.)
C.F. Chuang.
