of the Chinage of Hongkong. Wa are sitting here to try

and help you, and we want you and all your friends, and

anybody else who has had trouble with the Inspectors,

to come up and tell us the truth. Then we can help them,

but if they wont come up and tell us, we cannot help

them. Now, you go round to your friends, and let all of

them know. Let them come and tell us at once. while wo

are sitting here for the next two or three months. Now

is the time for all the Chinese to come before us and

make any complaints or suggestions they have to make.

Why dont they come and tell us things. Instead of that,

we have to send for them and drag the truth out of

them, as if we were taking their last dollar out of

them. We are trying to do our best for the Chinese, and

the Chinese must help us.

I did not know him particularly well. He wrote to me

asking for a loan of money, and I consulted with the

contrætor. He said he was poor and had no money, and

it was Chinese custom to lend at that time of the year.

He asked for a loan of it, not to get it.

Do you know who he is, or can you tell me the rest oz 1164)
