Commandant (who had also been brought away thinking that he was a prisoner) would be coming to see him again. I requested Akee to previously inform him of the object of my visit, and to send over the above letter in reply to the letter forwarded by him on the 10th. It relates to a red paper of $1500, transactions between Foong Lot Shing and "Hong Thee" and M. Calhoun.

Foong Hott Shing brought a Marine Lot in the Lowns Bazaar to me, brought to me by Aken, who stated that he was anxious to dispose of it. I agreed to purchase it and promised to pay $150 in advance until the transfer was effected, and requested him to get him to draw up a Bill of Sale to that effect. Finding, however, that a long Law suit would have to be instituted to eject the then tenant who laid claim to the property, I only paid $500. The above paper must have been a draft of the first agreement which was not carried out.

$4500.- a subsequent one for the $580.
