I think it can be done.

I have no doubt the Chinese would subscribe liberally.

My dear Mr. Hennessy.

I thought a few minutes conversation would be better than a note, and I called yesterday at the Lodge but had found you gone out. I had been too much occupied to get up hill until it was late.

I do not think it would be possible to get money enough here to send a cargo of rice to Madras as a contribution from Hong Kong
